PTHA pharmacy will accept prescriptions written by providers outside of PTHA as long as the prescription is valid under Washington State law. PTHA utilizes a “Drug Formulary” and may not stock all available medications. A “Drug Formulary” is a list of approved medications available. We periodically review available products to add or remove medications from this list. Each medication is based on availability, cost, safety, and efficacy.

We typically provide a 30-day supply of prescription medications. Quantities may be reduced as determined by your physician. Quantities may also be less than a 30-day supply as available refills have been used up. Patients may inquire about 90-day supply of medication based on insurance.
