Employees: If you were previously employed by RiteAid, you will no longer have MCIR access as all RiteAid MCIR sites have closed. If you are employed at a new pharmacy, ask your manager for your corporate contact to get access to their MCIR site. Provide them with your existing User ID and store number. Do not create a new MiLogin account.
Managers/Site Administrators: Add former RiteAid employees to a MCIR site using their existing User ID. Do not add them as new Users. If you are a store manager and do not know who your corporate contact is, contact MDHHS-MCIRCorporatePharmacies@michigan.gov.
Pharmacies should generally refer to resources listed for providers to obtain MCIR information. Pharmacies can follow all standard MCIR provider processes with the exception of new site and user registration for corporate/chain pharmacies.
