More About Prescriptions
We’re pleased to provide pharmacy services to all our patients. You can fill prescriptions at no cost from Seymour Johnson Pharmacy. If you have a prescription from a TRICARE network or non-network doctor, you may fill it here, as long as it’s available on our Basic Core Formulary.
Please use the TRICARE Formulary Search tool to see if your drug is available. We provide up to a 90-day supply for most drugs.
The pharmacy provides comprehensive pharmaceutical services to all eligible beneficiaries. A pharmacist is available to provide medication counseling upon request.
Due to local policy, the pharmacy cannot accept phoned-in or faxed prescriptions. We accept electronic prescriptions, including those for controlled drugs.
Our Military Pharmacy Services
Maintenance Drugs
Maintenance drugs are those you take regularly for a chronic condition (i.e., drugs to control blood pressure or cholesterol). All beneficiaries must refill certain maintenance drugs through home delivery or at military pharmacies. This does not apply to active duty service members.
Transferring Prescriptions
If you have prescriptions at a TRICARE network pharmacy, you may transfer your prescriptions to our military pharmacy. Call the Express Scripts Member Choice center at 877-882-3335 to learn more about prescription transfers.
To transfer a prescription to Seymour Johnson, simply bring your bottles to the pharmacy before running out of medication. We will contact your previous pharmacy to transfer your prescription. Please note, it may take up to 72 hours or longer to transfer prescriptions from overseas pharmacies.
Basic Core Formulary
All military pharmacies have a Basic Core Formulary. The Basic Core Formulary is a list of drugs that are available at all full-service military pharmacies. Please use the TRICARE Formulary Search tool to see if your drug is available.
Basic Core Formulary Search Tool
Use the TRICARE Formulary Search tool to see if your drug is available at your military pharmacy. A search can tell you:
- Formulary status (generic drug, brand-name drug, non-formulary drug, non-covered drug)
- Alternative drugs
To start your search, you’ll need to enter the brand or generic name of the drug.
Refills
Register and order your refills online using the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal or call 984-355-8583 to request your refill.

Prescription Pick-up

The ScriptCenter is located at the base exchange mall and offers patients prescription pick-up during the base exchange mall hours.

e-Prescribing
What is Electronic Prescribing?
Electronic prescribing allows civilian doctors to send prescriptions electronically to our pharmacy.
 
Did you know you can get your prescriptions from civilian doctors filled at our pharmacy, even if you are not enrolled to this facility? You can fill prescription from doctors outside of this facility, for free, if the prescription is available on the Basic Core Formulary.
Why Should I e-Prescribe?
It’s Safe and Efficient
e-Prescribing is the best way to keep your personal health information safe. You can reduce the chance of transcription errors, losing your prescription, and need for doctor clarification when you choose e-Prescriptions. e-Prescriptions are transmitted securely from your doctor’s office to the pharmacy.
Convenient and Cost Saving
You can save time and wait times when you use e-Prescriptions. You can also take advantage of no copayment when you pick up your prescription from your military pharmacy.
How Can I Choose e-Prescribing?
It’s easy. Start by giving your provider the following pharmacy information:
 
Name: DOD Seymour Johnson EPHCY
NPI: 1811305477
Zip Code: 27531
