A remedy for thousands of patients worried about their prescriptions with the now-bankrupt pharmacy chain Rite Aid has been approved in federal court. A New Jersey judge ruled that the Rx files will transition to CVS Health, Walgreens and other pharmacies and various grocers.
Rite Aid, which previously filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced the closure of over 100 stores, said on May 15 it "successfully entered into a series of sale agreements and pharmacy services transition agreements." The sale agreements were approved on May 21 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of New Jersey, according to Rite Aid's bankruptcy docket.
The sale agreements include transitioning pharmacy assets from more than 1,000 Rite Aid locations across the U.S. to CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger, Giant Eagle and other operators. Additionally, many Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs stores in Washington state, Oregon and Idaho will be operated by CVS Pharmacy as a part of the sale agreements.
During the transition of prescription files, Rite Aid said its stores will remain open and customers can continue to access their pharmacy services, including prescription refills and immunizations. Before the bankruptcy filing, Rite Aid operated 1,240 stores across 15 states.
