The pharmacy strives to give the highest quality medication care for the patient with convenience and reasonable prices. In addition to filling prescriptions from the Student Health Center (Uptown) physicians and nurse practitioners, the pharmacy also fills prescriptions from physicians not associated with the Student Health Center (Uptown). This includes both local and out-of-town practitioners.

The pharmacy will also telephone other pharmacies to transfer prescriptions from drug stores to the Student Health Center Pharmacy. This applies to local and out-of-town pharmacies. The Student Health Center (Uptown) Pharmacy willingly transfers prescriptions on its files to the patient's pharmacy of choice by having their private pharmacy call the Student Health Center (Uptown).

Besides filling prescriptions, the pharmacy also carries a number of over-the-counter medications. Although the over-the-counter product selection is not extensive, the selection is sufficient to handle most minor medical problems.

If you have any questions about the medication you are taking, whether prescription or non-prescription, the pharmacy will counsel you about side effects, precautions to observe, etc. Feel free to stop by or phone the pharmacy for drug information.

You must present your Tulane ID card to have prescriptions filled at the pharmacy. The pharmacy accepts checks, cash, Visa™ / MasterCard™, Discover Card, Tulane debit card, and charges to accounts receivable; we do not accept American Express cards.  It does not accept insurance cards, but will assist you with insurance claim forms and provide detailed receipts for reimbursement from your insurance company. If you have Aetna Insurance, prescriptions filled at the Student Health Center Pharmacy (Uptown) have a $15.00 co-pay for both brand name and generic drugs.  Covered medical expenses are payable to  a maximum of $1500 per policy year.  All persons under the Aetna Insurance Plan can fill their prescriptions at the Tulane Health Center Pharmacy (Uptown).
