Frequently Asked Questions

Pharmacy

Can my civilian provider submit prescriptions to your pharmacy electronically?

Yes. Our Pharmacy can now process electronic prescriptions from civilian providers for non-controlled medications. Hard copy prescriptions are still required for all controlled substances. If you would like to take advantage of this method of getting your prescriptions filled, let your provider know to select the site: DoD Ft Myer Pharmacy. It's important to note that electronic prescriptions will only be processed once the patient arrives at the pharmacy.

Does your pharmacy accept prescription transfers?

Yes. If you would like prescriptions transferred from another pharmacy to be filled at our pharmacy, we are happy to  help! Please print out this form TRANSFER FORM.PDF and bring it to the pharmacy filled out with as much information in Section A as you know. You can either drop this form in our Hard copy Prescription Drop-Off Box or pull a ticket number from the Q-Flow machine. Your prescriptions will normally be available for pick-up 2 business days (after 11:00 AM) after it's dropped off. If we have any issues, we'll call you and let you know.

Can I drop off a hard copy prescription and return later for pickup?

Yes.  A hard copy prescription drop-off box is available at the pharmacy concierge desk in the front of the pharmacy. Please write the following on the back of each prescription being dropped off:

1. Full name
2. Date of Birth
3. Phone Number

**Your prescriptions will be available for pick up 2 business days after they are dropped off**
