Starting Jan. 1, 2023: Request Electronic Prescription from Providers

By Kimbrough Public Affairs Office

The National Capital Region Market will transition to a new electronic health record in March 2023. Beginning January 1, 2023, please have your provider send your prescriptions electronically to military pharmacies for all non-controlled drugs. 
NCR Market pharmacies
will no longer accept routine hardcopy or paper prescriptions.

The electronic prescription is a computer-generated prescription sent electronically from your health care provider directly to our pharmacy. Electronic prescriptions are sent using a private, secure, and closed network. It can help prevent medication errors, suggest alternative drugs to save money, and process prescriptions more efficiently.


Once the electronic prescription is sent directly from your providers to our pharmacy, please remember to contact the pharmacy to activate your prescription.
Don't forget to keep your family's information up-to-date in DEERS.
