How to Get Prescriptions Filled from Civilian (Off-Base) Providers
Instructions for Providers
Providers should enter the DOD MacDill EPHCY exactly as seen below. If the correct address isn’t listed, the prescription won’t come through. Please note there’s an off-base civilian pharmacy on MacDill Avenue that uses “MacDill” as an entry.
DOD MACDILL EPHCY
NCPDP #: 5740849
3250 Zemke Ave., MacDill AFB, FL 33621
Phone: 813-827-7910
Instructions for Patients
Please note: Electronic prescriptions submitted by health care providers are not automatically ready for patient pickup.
Patients must activate all new electronic prescriptions. Request activation by sending a message on the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal to MacDill Pharmacy Services (as provider) or by downloading the DosePharm mobile pharmacy application and selecting “Activate Rx.”
How to Get Prescriptions Filled from an On-Base Provider
Check-in and pick up your prescriptions at the pharmacy in the same clinic as your appointment, send a message to MacDill Pharmacy Services using the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal, or activate your new prescription through the DosePharm mobile application.
Prescription Transfers
Upon request, MacDill AFB Pharmacy will transfer active refills into our pharmacy, but only from other military pharmacies.
FROM A MILITARY INSTALLATION WITH MHS GENESIS: Call the MacDill refill call-in line and enter the RX number on the label; it will automatically feed into our system.
MacDill AFB Pharmacy will transfer active refills out to any military or retail pharmacy. Have the new pharmacy call 813-827-7910, option 3, and leave a message.
All other transferred-in requests require new prescriptions.
Pharmacy Terminology
ACTIVATE: An action taken by a patient to inform the pharmacy that they would like their new prescriptions or renewals filled.
NEW PRESCRIPTION: An original prescription written/electronically prescribed by a provider.
REFILL: A subsequent filling of a prescription after the initial fill of a new prescription; for example, a new prescription for a one-year supply includes three refills before requiring a renewal request. Refills do not require action by a prescriber.
RENEWAL: A new prescription written/electronically prescribed by a provider for a medication a patient has previously used, but has either expired or exhausted all refills. Renewals require action to be taken by a prescriber.
