Introduction

Health Service does not have its own pharmacy. We send prescriptions on line to pharmacies or give students a hard copy to take to any pharmacy that they would like to use. Many students use Inman Pharmacy as described below, because of the convenient delivery service, but they can use any pharmacy they wish.

Students often ask about the cost of a medication. The co-pay for a particular medication is set by the student's health insurance company, not by the pharmacy. The co-pay will be the same for a given medication, no matter which pharmacy is used. However, that same medication may have a different co-pay for someone with a different insurance. The clinicians at Health Service cannot determine what your co-pay will be. The student would need to contact their insurance company for that information. When the pharmacy fills the prescription, they submit the information on line to the student's insurance company, and are told what co-pay to charge.

Pharmacy FAQs

How does the Inman Pharmacy Delivery Program work?
Inman Pharmacy is an independent pharmacy in Cambridge providing service to the students of Tufts University. Health Service Clinicians and private physicians can send prescriptions to Inman. Inman Pharmacy fills the prescriptions and delivers them to Health Service. There are one to three deliveries per day, depending on the day and time of year. In order to process your prescription, Inman Pharmacy will need the student's insurance information and a credit card to which the co-pay can be charged.

Disclaimer: Inman is providing a delivery service as a convenience to the students. Communication is done strictly between the student and the pharmacy. Tufts University is not responsible for providing payment information or collection for services or products. Once the prescription leaves the pharmacy it cannot be returned. Deliveries of prescriptions are made to Health Service on a pre-arranged schedule.
