General Pharmacy Information

Group Health owns and operates 24 pharmacies in Western Washington, four pharmacies in Spokane, one in Coeur d'Alene, and a mail-order service. We prefer that you fill all your prescriptions at a Group Health-owned pharmacy so we have complete medication records for you.

Note: If you are allergic to any drugs, it is very important to tell your doctor and pharmacist. They will include this information in your records.

To fill a prescription, you need your Group Health member ID number. Be prepared to pay your cost-share for your medication when you pick it up.

If you do not live near a Group Health pharmacy, you can have your prescriptions filled at one of the many community pharmacies that we contract with.

Refills

You can refill your regular medications by calling your usual pharmacy at least one business day ahead of time. This is the best option if you need refills quickly.

Group Health also offers home delivery free of charge anywhere in the United States. Allow seven business days for this option.

Care Product Kiosks

You can find common over-the-counter medications and many personal care products at your Group Health medical center's pharmacy.

Each of our 26 pharmacies features a care products kiosk offering more than 300 non-prescription medications and care products at prices comparable to those found in drugstores.

"Often our members can avoid that extra trip to the drugstore and save money by purchasing these items at the pharmacy" said Nancy Brotherson, manager of retail product sales. "If the product they need is not found in the Care Product Kiosk, it is most likely behind the pharmacy counter. Another benefit is that a pharmacist is available for consultation."

The Take Care Store

For a full range of quality health and self-care products, visit The Take Care Store, both online and at our Capitol Hill Campus, next to the South Building pharmacy.
