Our new name will begin to show up in electronic medical record (EMR/EHR) systems in April. You may need to refresh your system for our new name to show up, but our phone and fax number remain the same. If you still see us listed under our old names, you can also continue to e-prescribe to those locations until your EMR system reflects our updated name.

To provide the best access possible, our central specialty pharmacies are located in key regions across the country. While some restrictions may apply, you can usually send the prescription to whichever location listed below is closest to your patient

Cystic fibrosis prescription referrals may be sent to any of our locations as well as our dedicated cystic fibrosis pharmacy.
