WHO WE CAN FILL FOR

Under the Umstead Act, which limits how state institutions compete with private business, we can only fill prescriptions for currently enrolled students and employed faculty and staff. We cannot fill for family members. You are also never obliged to use us — fill anywhere you like.

THREE WAYS IN FILLING A NEW PRESCRIPTION tap to open or close

We fill prescriptions written by your Student Health Services provider and by providers outside Student Health Services. If it is in stock and we have it at least 30 minutes before closing, you can have it the same day.

IT IS AT ANOTHER PHARMACY

Call us on (910) 672-2080 and have ready:

  • Your name and date of birth
  • Your ID number and phone number
  • The name of the medication
  • Which pharmacy currently holds it

We contact them and transfer it. Transfers are completed within 48 hours.

A PROVIDER OUTSIDE FSU WROTE IT

They can phone it in, fax it, or e-prescribe it to the Fayetteville State University Student Health Services Pharmacy.

YOU HAVE IT ON PAPER

Bring it in. We fill it here.

IF WE DO NOT STOCK IT

Drop the prescription off and tell us what you take — we will order it. Barring delays, it is ready by 1:00 p.m. the next business day. We carry most medications, but not controlled medications.

INSURANCE, CO-PAYS, CARDS PAYING FOR YOUR MEDICATION tap to open or close

IF YOU HAVE MEDICAID, READ THIS

We are not contracted with Medicaid or any Medicaid Managed Care plan. If Medicaid is your pharmacy benefit, you will have to pay the full cost of the medication here. A pharmacy in town that takes Medicaid will almost certainly cost you less.

INSURANCE

Most third-party prescription plans are accepted. Bring your current prescription insurance card to the counter, or upload photographs of the front and back to the Student Patient Portal under the Upload tab.

We run the prescription through your plan to work out your co-pay — the set fee your insurer has you pay when you collect a prescription. If you are on the Student Health Insurance Plan, prescriptions filled here are $15 per fill or refill.

HOW TO PAY

We accept

Credit card  •  Debit card  •  HSA card  •  Google Pay  •  Apple Pay

We do not accept

Cash  •  Coupons or discount cards

Payment is due in full when you collect. You are responsible for the co-pay your plan sets, and for the price and sales tax on anything over the counter — insurance does not cover OTC products.

BRING PHOTO ID PICKING UP YOUR PRESCRIPTION tap to open or close

You need photo ID

Your Bronco ID card, or an unexpired government-issued photo ID — driver's licence, passport, military ID, or state ID card.

Nobody can collect it for you

You must pick up your own prescription in person. We cannot release it to a friend, a roommate, or a family member.

We do not deliver, and we cannot hold your mail order

Everything is collected from the pharmacy. If you use a mail-order pharmacy, have it sent to you directly — we cannot accept or store medication on your behalf, including anything that needs refrigerating.

Leaving for a break, or graduating?

Your eligible prescriptions can be transferred to any pharmacy you choose. Call us and we will start it — do it before you leave rather than after you run out.

NO PRESCRIPTION NEEDED OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATION what we stock and what it costs  •  tap to open or close

We carry a wide range of medicine that does not need a prescription — allergy, cough and cold, pain and fever, stomach, skin, sexual health, and vitamins. Over-the-counter medicine is safe to use without seeing a provider first, and it is not covered by insurance, so you pay the shelf price plus sales tax. We stock generics wherever they exist, which is where the savings are.

Prices are subject to change and do not include sales tax. If something is not on the list, ask at the counter — the list is not the whole shelf.

AVAILABLE AT THE COUNTER VACCINES tap to open or close

The pharmacy administers these:

  • Seasonal influenza
  • Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
  • Hepatitis B
  • Tetanus — Td and Tdap
  • Meningococcal

Several of these are on the state's list of required immunizations. If you are trying to become compliant, see the immunization requirements first so you know exactly what you still need.

WHILE YOU ARE HERE TALK TO THE PHARMACIST tap to open or close

Counselling comes automatically with every prescription we fill, and you can ask for more any time. There is no appointment and no charge.

Worth asking about: what a medication is actually for, how and when to take it, what side effects to expect, whether it interacts with anything else you take, and whether a cheaper generic exists. If you are unsure which over-the-counter product to buy, ask before you buy it.

COMING THIS FALL

THE PHARMACY IS MOVING

The pharmacy moves with the rest of Student Health Services into the new Health and Wellness Center, which has its own pharmacy entrance. There is no firm date yet; it will be this fall, and the date will be posted before it happens.

Nothing changes until then. Your prescriptions and refills carry over.

Does the pharmacy accept my insurance?

Most third-party insurance plans are accepted. However, we are not currently contracted with any type of Medicaid or Medicaid Managed Care plan. Patients with Medicaid or a Medicaid Managed Care plan for pharmacy benefits will be required to pay for the cost of the medication. Please present your updated prescription insurance card to the pharmacy or upload a picture of the front and back of the card on your Student Patient Portal under the “Upload” tab.

How much will my medication cost?
  • Over-The-Counter medication is not covered by insurance. See the list of available OTC Medications for pricing.
  • If you have a private insurance plan, we will process the prescription to determine your co-pay.
What is a Co-Pay?

A health insurance copay (or copayment) is a set fee you pay for a doctor visit or prescription. You typically pay it at your appointment or when you pick up a prescription.

How do I pay for my medications (prescriptions and OTC)?

You can pay in full at the time of your visit by credit card, debit card, HSA card, Google Pay, or Apple Pay.  The pharmacy does not accept cash payments.  You are responsible for your co-pay determined by your insurance plan for prescription medications and any fees/taxes associated with OTC products.

Can I use a coupon/discount card to help with the cost of my medication?

The pharmacy does not accept coupon/discount cards.

What if you currently do not have the medication I need?

No problem! Let us know what medication you take by dropping off your prescription and we will order it for you. If there are no prescription concerns or medication delays, it will be ready for you by the next business day after 1:00 PM. The pharmacy carries most medications except for controlled medications.

What type of identification is required to pick up a prescription?
  • Students will need to present their Bronco ID Card or a government-issued, non-expired photographic identification card. You may use your Driver’s License, Passport, Military ID, or a state-issued ID card.
Can someone else pick up my prescription for me?

You must pick up your own prescription at the pharmacy. No one else will be allowed to pick up your prescription for you.

If you are filling prescriptions via mail order, you must have the prescription delivered to you directly.  We are not able to accept or store medications on your behalf.
