• New Prescriptions

New prescriptions can be dropped off at the pharmacy (Foust 106) or called (989-774-6590) or faxed (989-774-6665) directly from the physician’s office to the pharmacy.

• To Transfer A Prescription

Bring your prescription to the Pharmacy or call the pharmacy at (989) 774-6590 with the following information:

• Name of the pharmacy where the prescription was originally filled
• Telephone number of the pharmacy where the prescription was filled
• Name, dose, frequency of the drug
• Prescription number (7 digit number) on the bottle or package

The CMU Pharmacy staff will contact the outside pharmacy and arrange the transfer of the prescription. Please allow 1-2 business days for the request to be processed.

• 90 Day Refills for CMU Express Script Subscribers

For maintenance medications, e.g., blood pressure drugs, new prescriptions will be filled for only one month the first time the medication is dispensed. This is intended to avoid having medication that can’t be returned or used in the event of an adverse reaction or lack of effectiveness during the first few weeks on the medicine. After the first month, Express Script subscribers can obtain 90 day refills from the pharmacy with an order from their physician.

• Refilling Prescriptions

There are 2 ways to request a refill of a prescription you have had filled at our CMU Pharmacy:

 1.  Convenient  twenty-four hour online ordering at http://www.rxrefill.cmich.edu, or

 2.  Call the Pharmacy at (989) 774-6590 to request a refill.

In both cases, you should have your prescription bottle handy with the name of the medication and seven digit prescription number on the label.

On-Campus Delivery for Faculty and Staff

If you would like to have your prescription delivered to you on campus, you will need to complete a brief delivery request form and designate who may sign for the delivery in your absence. The form is available at the pharmacy and at http://www.healthservices.cmich.edu, Downloadable Forms.

If your prescription request is submitted to the pharmacy by 10:00 a.m., every effort will be made to deliver it your campus location that same afternoon. Until we have developed a full inventory of medications for faculty and staff, we may not have every drug on hand initially. However, we will usually have it within 24 hours and will deliver it to you the next day whenever possible. After that, we will keep the medication in stock for future refills.

The prescriptions are delivered in bags that give no indication of the contents. They can only be delivered to the patient or the authorized delegate as indicated on the delivery form.

Pharmacy services are confidential and information will not be released to anyone without the patient’s knowledge and signed authorization, except as required or permitted by law.
