Frequently asked questions
How long will it take to fill my prescription? Times vary.
Processing involves legal obligations, and although staff work
as efficiently as possible, complications regarding prescription clarification, insurance coverage,
etc. may lengthen the wait.
Does the Pharmacy accept prescriptions written by out-of-state physicians?
Yes, with a few exceptions. Consult Pharmacy staff for more information.

Leave a voicemail message with requested information.
- If you do not have your prescription number, call 734-764-7387 instead.
Can I send someone else to pick up my prescription?

can send someone else to pick up a refilled prescription. Call ahead to authorize another person to pick up. He
or she must present identification to the Pharmacy. If you prefer, you can also provide written authorization.

time frame, even after graduation.
