NOTE: There is a 72 hour processing time on pharmacy refills. AR 40-3 requires that medical care and services be provided only to eligible beneficiaries. The current military I.D. card (or a paper photocopy of the front and back of the I.D. ) is a tool that helps us meet this requirement. Electronic device photos are not accepted. Medication will not be issued for a patient who is over the age of 10 years unless a valid military I.D. card for that patient is presented to pharmacy services.
