NEW! Skip the Line Using Q-Anywhere!
Now you can reduce your wait time at the pharmacy for new or renewal prescriptions. The Altus AFB Pharmacy now offers remote check-in using Q-Anywhere! With remote check-in, you can activate your prescription(s) with a simple text message from your phone.
Starting Sept. 1, 2024, all prescription activations will be handled through remote check-in rather than by phone. For additional assistance with activations and all other questions, please visit the pharmacy or contact the main pharmacy line at 580-481-5258.
To Use Remote Pharmacy Check-in with Q-Anywhere:
During business hours, use your cell phone to text “Get in line” to the Altus AFB Pharmacy at 833-268-6651. -Or, scan the QR code with your smartphone’s camera on the webpage sidebar or visit our pharmacy check-in page. Then, enter your DOD ID number and follow the prompts to check in remotely and activate new and renewal prescriptions.
Using this process, the pharmacy will complete your NEW and RENEWAL prescriptions, but REFILLS must be processed through the automated refill line at 580-481-5257; use the prescription number on the label.
Once your request is submitted, you are free to run errands or wait in the pharmacy lobby. You’ll receive a notification when your prescriptions are processed, and your prescription will be available for pickup at Window 1 without needing to pull a ticket from the Q-Flow kiosk. Thank you for trusting us with your care.
