Our Military Pharmacy Services

  • The pharmacy will validate beneficiary eligibility for all prescriptions received by external providers prior to filling the prescription. Refills for special order items should be called in at least three (3) business days to allow sufficient time for processing. 

  • Forms are available at the pharmacy which allow an individual to designate another person to pick up their prescription. This form must be completed by the patient prior to picking up the prescription to ensure HIPAA compliance.

  • Pharmacy check-in at the kiosk is available from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Maintenance Drugs

Maintenance drugs are those you take regularly for a chronic condition (i.e., drugs to control blood pressure or cholesterol).All beneficiaries must refill certain maintenance drugs through home delivery or at military pharmacies. This does not apply to Active duty service members.

If the medication is available, ask your doctor to send the prescription electronically. Otherwise, you may fill your prescription using home delivery or at a network pharmacy.
