All students who pay the current
semester's
Health Center Fee are eligible for services. Students can begin using the
pharmacy one week before the semester starts and can continue using the
pharmacy until the first day of the next semester. Students can use the
pharmacy in the summer IF they paid the Health Center fee in the spring
and are registered for the fall. However, to see a medical
provider a Health Center fee must be paid.
Does Beutel
Pharmacy carry all types of medication, and how can I find out if the
pharmacy carries the individual medications that I use?
The Pharmacy carries most
medications that the average college student might need, but not
necessarily all types. Please call the pharmacy at 458-8292 if you have
any questions about which medications we carry.
Can the
Pharmacy special order a prescription for me?
Yes, we can special order
medications with the approval of the medical director. Please allow 5 to
7 working days for delivery.
How do I
transfer a prescription from an outside pharmacy to Beutel Pharmacy, or
how do I transfer a prescription from Beutel to an outside pharmacy?
If your prescription is
at an outside pharmacy you can:
Fill out the
Prescription Transfer Form completely and
either fax it (458-8294) or drop it off at the pharmacy. Or you can
call the pharmacy at 458-8292 and have an employee fill out the form
for you over the phone.
If your prescription is
at Beutel Pharmacy you can:
Call the pharmacy
that you want to fill your prescription and give them our direct phone
number (458-8292) and any pertinent information (RX number, name of
drug, etc.) they may need. They will call us and transfer the
prescription out for you.
How do I refill my
prescription?
You can:
Use the
StORR, our new on-line refill
system. You will need to have your Rx Number to use the system. Only Rx
Numbers given by Beutel Health Center Physicians are supported. If
you want to transfer a prescription, please turn in our
Prescription Transfer Form.
Or you can:
Call our refill line at (979) 458-8295
and follow the directions. If you have the Rx number it will facilitate
your refill. You may also leave the name of the medication.
Can I fill a prescription from
an off-campus doctor?
Yes, as long as you are
currently currently enrolled, have paid the Health Center fee, and we have the particular drug(s) your
doctor is prescribing.
How can I pay for my
prescriptions?
You can pay for your
prescriptions by Check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Aggie Bucks, or have
your bill transferred to your SIMS account.
What can I do if the
medication the doctor prescribed for me is too expensive?
If it is a doctor at Beutel
Clinic then the pharmacist will refer you to a case manager who will
contact your doctor to see if he can prescribe another medication that is
less expensive.
If it is an off-campus doctor
then you will need to speak to one of our pharmacists about possible
options, or you can try to contact your doctor directly.
Can another person pick-up my
prescription?
It depends. In most cases a
photo ID of the person picking-up the prescription and some identifying
information about the patient (birth date, etc.) is all that is needed for
someone else to pick-up a prescription. However, if you have any questions
or concerns, please call the pharmacy at 458-8292 ahead of time to make
arrangements for pick-up.
Can I use my
insurance at the Pharmacy?
The Pharmacy is not set up to
accept outside insurance. However, the Patient Services office can process
claims to the A&M Student insurance plan. In this instance the student
will only be required to pay their Co-Pay amount.
Is the Health
Center Pharmacy the only place I can fill the prescription I received from
a Health Center doctor?
No, all of the doctors at the
Health Center are licensed to practice medicine in the state of Texas. Any
pharmacy in Texas will accept a prescription that you receive here.
Where is the
Pharmacy located?
The Pharmacy is located inside
the A.P. Beutel Health Center, south of the Fish Pond and directly across
the street from the All Faiths Chapel. Click
