I am out of refills, how will I continue to receive my medication?
We will be happy to call, fax, or electronically request refills from your physician for you. Please remember to allow sufficient time for us to get in contact with your physician as this can take 24 - 72 hours. Also, please be sure to keep all appointments as physicians will often require office visits for refill renewals. Please do not wait until you are out of medication to request a refill.

Is my privacy protected at UTCare?
Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. All pharmacy staff members are HIPPA trained, and you can be sure that your private information will be not be shared with anyone who you have not given consent to. We will work with you to ensure you always feel comfortable and protected.

Prescriptions mailed to you will be in plain envelopes, with no identification of what is in the package. Patients may request to sign for the packages for increased privacy. However, please remember that when this option is used the patient will have to go to the post office to pick up any packages that are attempted to be delivered when they are not home.
