Andrew’s Pharmacy sold to CVS, converts this week end

Andrew’s Pharmacy, 444 Main Street, a Sav-On drug store in downtown Belleville, will close after business on Thursday, Jan. 11, and reopen at its regular time on Monday, Jan. 15, as a CVS pharmacy.
The notice of the sale was listed on the Sav-On Pharmacy website and discussed all around town last week.
The announcement said Billnot Corp., doing business as Sav-On Pharmacy, has sold its business to CVS. Many pharmacies will convert to CVS and some will close.
Andrew’s Pharmacy in Belleville will convert.
Those who used to have their prescriptions filled at Andrew’s will be able to have their prescriptions filled at any CVS pharmacy and they don’t have to refill them in Belleville. Those wishing to have their prescriptions filled at another pharmacy need to tell their health care provider where they want the prescriptions sent.
In accordance with the Michigan Medical Reports Act, to safeguard patient information, CVS will transfer prescription records to CVS.
“We have notified the Michigan Board of Pharmacy where the records will be transferred,” the notice said.
Ten of the Sav-On pharmacies purchased will be closed and ten will be converting. Besides Belleville, the Sav-On pharmacy in Romulus also will be converting.
The Belleville CVS hours will be the same and the same people will be serving the customers, according to a Belleville pharmacy official.
