The shortage is real. The tools haven't caught up.
The shortage is structural.
Pharmacist and technician turnover has been climbing for years. This isn't a temporary blip — independent pharmacies are absorbing more patients while running leaner than ever.
The informal system has a ceiling.
Group chats, personal call lists, word of mouth — they work until they don't. When your usual people aren't available, there's nowhere obvious to turn.
The tools haven't kept up.
Per-diem shift coverage is a specific problem. Generic job boards and full-time hiring platforms weren't designed for it.
For Pharmacists
See available shifts. Know the details. Say yes in one tap.
Waiting on a call that might not come. Hoping the right pharmacy sees your message. Picking up shifts should be simpler than this — and now it is. The rate, the location, the pharmacy software — all visible before you commit.
Create your profile
Your name, NPI number, and NY state license number. You'll be verified before your first shift. Takes under five minutes.
Browse open shifts
A live feed of available shifts, sorted by urgency. Same-day shifts that still need coverage sit at the top.
See everything upfront
Pharmacy name, location, software used, hourly rate, shift hours, and whether technicians will be on. All visible before you decide — no surprises.
Express interest in one tap
No cover letter. No phone screen. Just tap. The pharmacy reaches out directly from there.
Get notified
You hear back when you're selected — and when a shift fills without you, so you're never left waiting on an answer.
For Pharmacies
Post a shift. See who's available. Make the call.
Your usual list works — until the day it doesn't. CoveredRx gives you a wider bench of verified pharmacists you can reach out to directly, on your terms, the same way you always have.
Create your pharmacy profile
Your pharmacy name, address, NYS pharmacy license number, and the software you run. You'll be verified before going live. Takes under five minutes.
Post an open shift
Date, time, hourly rate, and whether technicians will be on. The platform handles the rest.
See verified pharmacists who are interested
A list of licensed, credentialed pharmacists who expressed interest in your shift. Same-day shifts surface in real time. Planned shifts collect interest first, then show you the list.
Reach out directly
Tap a profile, get their contact number, call or text. No platform chat. No middleman. No delays.
Mark it filled
Everyone else who expressed interest gets notified automatically. Done.
Verification built in. You know who you're getting before you pick up the phone. Every pharmacist on CoveredRx has their NPI number and NY state license verified before they can access the platform. Every pharmacy is verified the same way. No anonymous accounts, no unverified listings — on either side.
Why CoveredRx
The system you've been using works. Until it doesn't.
Most pharmacies don't use staffing agencies. They have a short list of people they trust — a pharmacist who's covered before, someone a colleague referred, a name from a group chat. When one of them is available, the problem is solved. When none of them are, the shift goes uncovered.
Most per-diem pharmacists operate the same way. A few pharmacies that call them personally. Word of mouth. The occasional post on LinkedIn or a Facebook group. It works until it runs dry — and there's no easy way to expand beyond the relationships you already have.
This isn't a broken system. It's a practical one. But it has a ceiling, and that ceiling shows up at the worst possible moment — a Saturday morning, a holiday weekend, a last-minute callout.
CoveredRx doesn't replace the way you work. It extends it. Verified pharmacists, full shift details upfront, direct contact — the same conversation you'd have over the phone, just with a bigger pool to draw from and less scrambling to get there.
We're starting in New York City, where the need is most immediate. But the problem isn't unique to New York — and neither is what we're building.
A bigger bench
Access to verified, licensed pharmacists beyond your existing personal network — without giving up the direct relationship.
No middleman
You reach out directly. No platform chat, no go-between. The same phone call or text you'd make anyway, just with more options.
Everything upfront
Pharmacists see the rate, location, software, and hours before they express interest. Pharmacies see verified profiles before they reach out. No one wastes anyone's time.
