Prescription Services

The Pharmacy Employee/Retiree Enrollment Form can be dropped off at the pharmacy during regular business hours, or mailed to:

UHS Pharmacy
202 Student Health Center

If you have a new prescription(s) that needs to be filled, please attach it to the form. After your first prescription has been filled you will be able to use one of our easy prescription refill options.

The Pharmacy will fill written, original prescriptions. Your clinician can electronically send the script to University Health Services (University Park, Pa) which is the most efficient. You may also bring your prescription to the pharmacy service window, have your clinician fax it to the pharmacy at 814-865-4847, or mail it to the pharmacy:

Delivery & Pick-Up Options

We offer three convenient options for Penn State retirees to receive their prescriptions. You may pick up your prescriptions via curbside, in-person, or have them delivered directly to your home address.

We encourage patients to refill maintenance medications with a 90-day supply or up to the plan maximum. For questions, please call the UHS Pharmacy at 814-865-4847. 

For a flat $4.00 shipping and handling fee, you can have your prescriptions mailed to your home address (PA & FL addresses only). The price is the same no matter how many medications are in the package. Consolidating all your medications into one order is a great way to save money! Please allow up to 14 business days for home delivery.

Mailing Restrictions: We will not mail certain medications including Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine, Oxycontin, Duragesic, Percocet/Percodan, Ritalin, Metadate CD, and their generic equivalents and other CII narcotics.

This service will be offered Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. until further notice. To utilize curbside pickup, please follow the steps below:

  • Park in the designated pharmacy spots in the Eisenhower parking deck and call 814-863-8580.
  • A customer service representative will then deliver the prescription to the vehicle. 
  • All prescription costs/or copays will be placed on accounts and the patient will receive bills in the mail to avoid the exchange of money or credit cards.   

In-person pick-up is now available! Stop by the Student Health Center to receive your prescription.

Prescription Costs

When medicine is prescribed for a chronic condition and must be taken on a regular, recurring basis, that medication is classified as a maintenance drug.

Customers are eligible to receive significant cost savings when ordering 90-day supplies of many popular maintenance drugs. Please inquire about pricing.

Maintenance medication refills will be filled within 2 business days.  

Generic drugs will be substituted for brand-name drugs. A generic drug is one that meets the same FDA standards for safety as a brand name drug, is therapeutically equivalent to a brand name drug, and has the same active ingredients in the same amounts. Using generic medications, when available, helps you minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

Pharmacy services can be paid by cash, check, or credit card. Pharmacy patrons may also set up a charge account with University Health Services Pharmacy, and may pay off their billing statements monthly.
