See my google review. https://maps.app.goo.gl/JnpwryfMVxTVeKhz6 Title: Repeated Privacy Failures and HIPAA Non-Compliance at CVS Farmingdale I am extremely disappointed with my repeated experiences at the CVS Pharmacy located at 503 Northwest Dr, Farmingdale, NY. Over several months, I have encountered serious privacy and HIPAA compliance issues with the in-store digital kiosk system that collects personal and prescription-related information. Timeline of Issues: October 14, 2025: I was asked to use the in-store kiosk for prescription services. When I requested the privacy policy outlining how my personal and health information is collected, stored, and shared, staff could not provide it. I declined to use the kiosk due to privacy concerns. October-November 2025: Multiple follow-ups with the CVS Consumer Privacy Office and the store produced only generic responses. No specific documentation regarding HIPAA compliance or the Notice of Privacy Practices (NOPP) was provided. November 25, 2025: CVS PrivacyPharmacy@cvshealth.com assured me in writing that: * All kiosk activities are governed by CVS's HIPAA-covered Notice of Privacy Practices (NOPP). * Store leadership was reminded to provide the NOPP upon request. December 7, 2025: Despite these assurances, the store again failed to provide the required documentation. I waited over 25 minutes and, due to the delay, suffered a panic attack and left without my prescribed anxiety medication. Corporate Contacts Reached and Responses: David A. Falkowski, Chief Compliance Officer: Received multiple formal complaints regarding recurring HIPAA non-compliance; no satisfactory resolution at store level. Edward Devaney, Thomas Moffatt, David Joyner (Corporate Compliance): Notified of ongoing failure to provide required documentation; responses acknowledged issue but failed to resolve on-site compliance. PrivacyPharmacy@CVSHealth.com : Confirmed kiosk is covered under HIPAA and NOPP applies; informed store leadership was reminded to comply. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (HHS-OCR): Copied on escalations due to unresolved HIPAA concerns. Impact: The repeated inability of CVS staff to provide required HIPAA documentation created unnecessary stress, prevented timely access to essential medication, and shows a serious failure in following corporate policies and legal obligations. Summary: This experience demonstrates a systemic breakdown in CVS's compliance with privacy laws and internal procedures. Patients' health and safety should never be jeopardized due to procedural failures. Until corrective action is taken and HIPAA compliance is consistently enforced at this location, I cannot recommend this store. Note: All emails and responses included are presented as accurately and factually as possible. AI assistance was used to remove personal bias, ensuring objectivity. All original emails have been provided to CVS and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (HHS-OCR), for their review, which is still ongoing. I encourage anyone experiencing similar issues to report violations. However, I have not received any response from HHS or OCR, which is concerning given the protections supposedly in place for personal information. The full record is available to any interested party upon request.

This store has to be the worst around. I was at the drive-up on a the other day with a 90 year old…read morein the car to pick up their medication on a 100% day outside. There was one car at the window when I arrived and one car ahead of me and one pulled up behind me. After waiting at least 10 minutes the car at the window was still there. After another 5 minutes the car was still at the window. The car behind me decided to leave. After another 5 minutes I too decided to leave. As I was leaving the car that was causing the long delays finally was leaving. I rolled my window down and asked the person why they are so inconsiderate to take so long at the window. Her response to me was to give me the finger. Then to make matters worse, a pharmacy associate came outside a proceeded to tell me they can be at the window as long as needed. Maybe CVS can come up with a policy that if at the window is having a situation that is going to cause such a long delay, they are told to pull off the line and come inside. Most people taking advantage of the drive up, are looking to save time by picking up prescription that are ready. I will never give this store my business again!!

This was one of the only pharmacies that carried the medication the physician has prescribed. I had previously spoken to Ralph on the phone when the surgeon's office emailed me a list of pharmacies that "may" carry what my child was going to need. I called about 2 weeks prior to the surgery and Ralph said no problem! We will definitely have your medication, we always keep it in stock! After the procedure, I drove to Moby and they had everything I needed. I spoke to Ralph again and he was very kind and knowledgeable. He explained the dosages and said if I had any questions, don't hesitate to call. If I lived closer, I would make this my pharmacy for ALL of my prescription needs!

Holy cow. I honestly have no words for the experience I just had. I came in with my mother around…read more11:00pm. No employees were nearby and I was only able to see the few customers in the store. That was red flag #1...We do our shopping and get what we need and I make my way to the self checkout. Keep in mind the whole time we were shopping we still did not see ONE employee. I get to self checkout and I start ringing everything up. I purchased a bow and along with my other items and after I scanned the bow it seems as if the scale did not register it was placed so it froze my screen and said "help is on the way" I stood there for almost 10 minutes waiting patiently. It got to a point where a customer even tried helping me resolve my issue because her self checkout did the same but she somehow fixed hers. **STILL no employee to be seen.** So now I'm holding wrapping paper and I start walking around the store waving it around going -- "HELLO!?! Does anyone work here I've been real checkout for 10 min and the things constantly repeating help is on the way but nobody is here" and after around 2 min of my calling out for help.. NOBODY SHOWED UP. So I walk BACK to self check out and wait and then this woman slowly walks up to me, SAYS NOTHING, scans her little card and then WALKS away. I cannot imagine how many people steal from this place at night because I easily could have walked right out with my bags. She did not care at all and she was very rude and dismissive. The customer service here is disgusting. Whoever is working today 11/12/2021 clearly does not do their job properly and needs to be retrained on how to handle customers ALSO why is there only ONE person on shift ?
