MacDill AFB, Fla. --  The pharmacy department has implemented a new service which began Aug. 3. Civilian providers can now fax prescriptions to the PharmaCARE Center at 813-828-0088. 

To ensure proper filling follow these guideline: prescriptions must be faxed from a doctor's office, contain the doctor's printed name, signature, contact information, drug enforcement agency number and/or national provider identifier number. All prescriptions must be computer generated or type written and include the patient's full name, date of birth, phone number and last four digits of the sponsor's social security number. For security reasons: controlled drug medications will not be accepted by fax.

These prescriptions will be ready for pick-up at the PharmaCARE drive-thru 24 hours after being received from the doctor. For questions or concerns about this new service, please contact a staff member at 813-828-2226 or Lt. Col. Ghitana Oatis at 813-827-9300.
