NHCCC advises retirees and active-duty personnel to refill prescriptions at local pharmacies or through TRICARE pharmacy delivery.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Naval Health Clinic Corpus Christi (NHCCC) advises retirees and active-duty personnel to fill their prescriptions at local pharmacies or through the TRICARE pharmacy due to the recent government shutdown. 

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, NHCCC stated that it will continue to prioritize urgent prescriptions and fill them as quickly as possible. 

NHCCC said some routine prescriptions may temporarily be out of stock at the pharmacy.

Here’s what you need to know:

• If your new or refill prescription is affected, you will be notified immediately upon submission.

• If your medication is unavailable at the Naval Health Clinic Corpus Christi Pharmacy, we will transfer it to a local network pharmacy of your choice.
