In House Pharmacy

In House Pharmacy Q & A

What is an in-house pharmacy?

An in-house pharmacy is just as it sounds—a pharmacy at the doctor’s office. In-house pharmacies consolidate your points of care, so you can do more in one place.

Chiefland Health Center offers in-house pharmacy services at both of its locations in Ocala and Chiefland, Florida.

How do in-house pharmacies work?

In-house pharmacies work quite simply. After you see your team, you go directly to the practice’s pharmacy. You offer them your prescription, and they fill it for you. At that time, they make sure you understand your medication and how to take it.

Because you’re still at your doctor’s office, you can get your prescription more quickly and with less fuss than if you had to go to a pharmacy at a different location.

What are the advantages of an in-house pharmacy?

In-house pharmacies offer countless benefits to the patients of Chiefland Health Center. Some of these include:

Convenience

First, in-house pharmacies allow you to get your medication immediately after your appointment, instead of forcing you to run all around town or wait a few days. This convenience means that you can go home and get to the business of getting better faster.

Access to doctor for additional questions

If you have questions or concerns about your medication, not only can an in-house pharmacist help you, but your doctor is in the same building to provide any clarification they can’t.

Proof of prescription pickup

When you use the in-house pharmacy, your team knows exactly when you picked up your prescription. They also have access to the pharmacy’s records, so they know for sure that you get the correct prescriptions with the correct instructions.

Prioritization of patients

Another advantage of in-house pharmacies is the fact that you don’t get stuck waiting for your prescription to become available again behind a large volume of other patients. 

Regular pharmacies won’t put you first, but the in-house pharmacy at Chiefland Health Center always makes sure you have everything you need before you leave the building.

Chiefland Health Center is committed to your health, and its in-house pharmacy is another way the practice seeks to provide you with high quality services.
