Pharmacy/Prescriptions

Where is the pharmacy located?
The SHS Pharmacy is located on the first floor, directly to the right of the main entrance. It is across the hall from Advice/Appointments.
 
If I have Student Health Insurance, may I fill my prescription at another pharmacy?
There are advantages to having your prescription filled here. Our pharmacy is centrally-located with easy access from the main library, RPAC, or classrooms. Our prices are competitive. If you have Student Health Insurance, you will only be charged the co-pay. At any other pharmacy, you will have ot pay the full price of the prescription and submit the bill for reimbursement.
 
To be reimbursed for the cost of your prescription from another pharmacy, you must complete a Medical and Prescription Drug Claim form which can be obtained in our pharmacy or downloaded at shi.osu.edu. The reimbursement process takes approximately two months.

To transfer a prescription to another pharmacy, you will need to call the pharmacy where you want it filled, give them the prescription number from our bottle and the name of the drug. Ask them to call the Wilce Student Health Center Pharmacy at (614) 292-0125 to complete the transfer process.
