Refills requested by phone or internet can be picked up at window #1 without drawing a pharmacy number. The Main pharmacy also offers patients the option to drop off prescriptions and return in 4 hours. Beneficiaries should select a "D" ticket which will prompt the staff to quickly call them to window #2 and they will be instructed to return to window #1 in 4 hours to pick up their prescription. You can elect to pick up your refills at any time of the day or night by using the Automated Prescription Machine (APM). To use this service you must first register at window #6 in the Main Pharmacy. When you call to refill your prescriptions, select the APM location and your medications will be placed in the APM machine located at the south end of the hospital next to the information desk.
