Easy Step-by-Step to Start Filling and Refilling Prescriptions at NMCSD Today

  1. Beneficiaries do NOT have to enroll to use NMCSD pharmacies; simply swing by or call NMCSD's patient administration (619-532-8319) to register for a MHS GENESIS Lifetime Pharmacy Account.
  2. Providers writing a new prescription should send it via e-prescribing (refer to New RX Instruction under important information); however, you may come to the pharmacy with a hard copy prescription as well, either require an initial fill at one of NMCSD's MTF Pharmacy locations. After a new prescription has been filled and has refills available, you are able to request refills via option 1 on the telephone (619-532-8400). Please listen to all prompts before selecting, refer to pharmacy location and hours located under Important Information for a site that offers refill pickups. To find out if a refill is due or to locate your current prescription number, use the Rx Refill tab in your MHS Genesis patient portal by visiting https://patientportal.mhsgenesis.health.mil
