7. Do you accept insurance cards?
We can electronically file your claim with many insurance carriers. In the event that we are not connected to your insurance company, we will provide you with a receipt so you can file a paper claim with them. Please give us your insurance card, or inform us
of any changes in your insurance before we fill your prescription. The OUHS pharmacy is a preferred provider for BCBS (the insurance provider for OU faculty and staff). Your insurance company may have special requirements regarding which doctors you may see
(some will not pay for prescriptions except from the plan's own doctors). You are responsible for checking with your insurance company to make sure you follow their rules. The OUHS pharmacy cannot be responsible if you fail to follow your insurance company's
policies and they refuse payment for your medicine. ^ Pharmacy FAQ |

Sure! In order to get a prescription transferred to the OU Health Services, please bring us the other pharmacy's bottle or container (preferred) or call the OU Health Services Pharmacy and provide us with the name and number of the other pharmacy and the prescription
numbers which you wish to have transferred. To transfer a OU Health Services Pharmacy prescription to another pharmacy, call the other pharmacy or take them your bottle and ask them to call the OU Health Services pharmacy. Federal and State law prohibit the
transfer of prescriptions for controlled substances (narcotics and certain other types of prescriptions). If you are unsure about your prescription, ask the pharmacist. ^ Pharmacy FAQ |

Your bottle will indicate in the lower left-hand corner whether or not there are refills remaining on your prescription. If you have refills remaining, you may call the pharmacy at 325-5165, and request your refill by phone. Have your prescription number (from
your label) ready when you call. The prescription will be ready to pick up when you come in. It normally takes only a few minutes to get your prescription ready. If your prescription does not have any refills remaining, contact your doctor or provider. ^
