Carvajal Pharmacy

What Carvajal Pharmacy does

Carvajal Pharmacy is a family-owned independent pharmacy founded in 1969 in San Antonio, Texas, by co-owners Raymond, Charles, and Mark Carvajal. The company operates five retail pharmacy locations (San Jose, South San Antonio, Crockett Park, Ingram, and Wesley) and a dedicated closed-door long-term care (LTC) pharmacy, serving Bexar County and, for its LTC book, facilities across the state of Texas. The retail arm dispenses prescriptions, compounds customized medications (hormone replacement therapy, ophthalmic, dermatological, injectable preparations), administers immunizations, performs medication therapy management (MTM), and sells durable medical equipment; adherence is supported through multi-dose packaging and an RxSync medication synchronization program, with home delivery/mail service available to retail patients.

The company also operates a parallel LTC division branded as Carvajal Pharmacy LTC. This division serves skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, independent living facilities, group homes, hospices, and mental health clinics with managed pharmacy services including 24/7 pharmacy availability, custom blister and elastomeric-pump packaging, IV therapy services, emergency kits, pharmacy consulting, Medicare-A cost management, discharge transition support, and up to two daily deliveries plus stat deliveries. The technology backbone is the "Framework" pharmacy operating system, which interfaces natively with facilities' PCC eMar system to transmit medication orders, complemented by the Carvajal Link internet-based portal exposing prescription status, activity reports, patient information, and financial information to facility customers.

Carvajal's business model is anchored on transaction-fee prescription dispensing across retail and LTC channels (accepting Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Part D, and most prescription drug plans, plus major credit cards), supplemented by professional services revenue (immunizations, MTM, pharmacy consulting), hardware/DME sales, and managed LTC services. The retail go-to-motion is direct-to-consumer (walk-in patients, online refills via Digital Pharmacist, new-patient transfers), while the LTC side employs an enterprise field-sales motion targeting facility administrators and clinical staff across Texas. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company holds no funding rounds, no patents, no partnerships/alliances on record, no social media presence, and no mobile apps; HIPAA compliance is maintained for protected health information handling.
