There are possible advantages to having your prescriptions filled at SHS' pharmacy:

1. We are in the same building as the health care providers, so you can have your prescriptions filled without leaving the building.

2. If there are questions about your prescriptions or any changes that need to be made because of concerns or insurance requirements, we can talk with the provider right away. In most cases, we can make needed changes while you are on-site, and you still leave with your prescriptions filled.

3. We are there to make sure you receive needed medications as quickly as possible so you can start treatment as soon as possible.

We will verify your name, address, CUID number, date of birth, drug allergies and pharmacy insurance information. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for all controlled-substance prescriptions, so please bring your ID with you.

Yes, SHS' pharmacy can fill prescriptions written by SHS physicians and/or private off-campus physicians in South Carolina or other states. We also accept e-prescriptions from the Sullivan Center and from any office with e-prescribing authority, including controlled substance prescriptions. You may bring us your original prescription or your physician may call us at 864-656-3562, fax us your prescription at 864-656-2500 or e-prescribe your prescription. For transferred prescriptions (those originally filled at another pharmacy), we must call the original pharmacy. To do so we will need your prescription number from your label, phone number of the pharmacy, your name and date of birth. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for all controlled-substance prescriptions, so please bring your ID with you.

The automatic refill process can make refilling and/or transferring a prescription difficult and time-consuming for the student. This is especially true during holidays, breaks and summer. Therefore, the pharmacy staff works with each individual patient to ensure they can obtain their medication during these times without issues. For your convenience, students have the capability of refilling prescriptions via telephone, mobilerx and online 24 hours a day.

Generally, the pharmacy is less busy from 8:30–10 a.m. and 12:30–1:30 p.m. We suggest you call ahead for refills. Most prescriptions can be filled in 15 minutes or less, depending on the number of prescriptions you have to fill and the accuracy of your insurance information. We do have a system to help us find your insurance information, but it is always best to have a copy of your most current prescription insurance card with you because this information may change on a yearly basis or after a job change.

Yes, you may sign up for text messaging online or tell one of our staff.

If you call us and give verbal consent, which must include the person's name and relationship, it can be picked up by a third party.

YES; the pharmacy accepts many commercial insurances for prescription medications, in addition to the Clemson University Student Insurance Plan for undergraduate and graduate students and their spouses. If you have your insurance card and would like to give your information to our pharmacy, please do one of the following:

• Submit a copy of your pharmacy insurance information.
• Print and fill out the Pharmacy Prescription Card Information Form and fax it to 864-656-2500 , drop it off at the pharmacy inside Redfern Health Center, or give it to a pharmacy staff member at orientation.

This will make it easier and faster for us to process your prescriptions on insurance. There have been many changes to prescription insurance plans. The pharmacy staff is here to help you answer your questions, but the more you can learn about your coverage the better.

The pharmacy staff can locate most pharmacy insurance information using your home address and zip code. You may also have someone who knows the information fax it to 864-656-2500 or text it to your cell phone.

We encourage payment at the time of service. You may pay at Redfern with personal check, HSA, TigerStripe, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or Apple Pay. If necessary, you can charge balances over $3.00 to your University account. All accounts must be settled prior to the next semester or graduation.

You might be able to purchase multiple months of refills on certain medications (ex: birth control pills). The pharmacy staff will be glad to help you with this.

Continuing students (those returning next session) and Bridge students can have medications filled at the SHS pharmacy, even during the summer months. Once you have graduated, you can ask the pharmacy of your choice to call us at 864-656-3562, and we will be glad to transfer your remaining refills to them at no charge to you.

Unpaid charges are included on your tuition bill as an “Unpaid Redfern Charge.” This non-specific title will be the only reference to charges from SHS. Specific medication names, labs tests, etc., will not be included in the description.

If you do not have a prescription for a pseudoephedrine product, the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act requires: storage behind-the-counter in the pharmacy, limits on quantities, photo identification and signature of the purchaser 18 years of age or older. Some of the most common products are: Sudafed (short-acting and long-acting formulations), Mucinex-D, Zyrtec-D, Claritin-D, Allegra-D and their respective generics.
