Munson construction to improve ScriptCenter access; temporary closure set for Nov. 12-13

Official Statements

• Munson Army Health Center Public Affairs, November 10: “FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kansas — Munson Army Health Center’s south entrance facing Pope Avenue and its ScriptCenter will be unavailable Thursday, Nov. 12, and Friday, Nov. 13, for construction to prepare the space for after-hours access to the prescription refill pickup system.

  Any remaining medications in the ScriptCenter after close of business Tuesday, Nov. 10 will be transferred to the pharmacy. Patients may proceed directly to pharmacy Window 7 beginning Thursday Nov. 12 after the Veterans Day federal holiday to retrieve those medications. Pharmacy staff are reaching out to impacted patients.

  The construction project will enable patients to access the ScriptCenter after hours, making it easier to fit prescription refill pickup into their schedules.

  “The ScriptCenter provides our patients a convenient prescription refill pickup option. This convenience translates into less congestion in the pharmacy and reduced wait times,” said Dr. Jason Brozek, Munson pharmacy chief. Located inside the south entrance, the ScriptCenter is an automated system that allows patients to retrieve eligible prescription refills without waiting in the pharmacy line. The improvements will support pickup outside the health center’s regular operating hours. Details about expanded access will be announced once construction is complete.

  Patients may select ScriptCenter pickup when requesting eligible refills by calling the refill number on their prescription label or using the “Rx Refills” option in the MHS Genesis Patient Portal.

  After completing a one-time account activation, patients can retrieve their medications using their military identification card or fingerprint.

  Patients should allow two business days after requesting a refill for ScriptCenter pickup. Medications remain available in the system for 10 days before being returned to the pharmacy.

  The ScriptCenter is intended for eligible refill prescriptions. Patients receiving a new prescription must visit the pharmacy so staff can provide counseling and answer questions. Refrigerated medications and controlled substances also continue to be dispensed through the pharmacy.
