Pharmacy Services

Our pharmacy team is an integral part of your healthcare journey, ensuring your well-being and comfort. We offer both patient and specialty pharmacy services. Patient (outpatient) pharmacies address routine and ongoing medication needs, while specialty pharmacies provide access to complex or high-cost medications that require additional support.

Outpatient Pharmacy

The Arkansas Children's Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy provides medications after clinic visits or hospital stays. This service specializes in promptly filling routine prescriptions for children, eliminating the need for extra trips to other pharmacies.

Our pharmacy team members are trained on children's medications. Children react differently to medications than adults, and our team is experienced with pediatric doses and drug interactions. Ask your nurse about sending your child's prescription to the ACH Outpatient Pharmacy for convenient pickup.

Pharmacy Services

• Filling and refilling medications
• Patient and parent counseling on medications
• Specialty prescriptions, such as compounding oral medications
• Providing prescriptions to uninsured patients with no upfront charge to the patient (families would need to speak to a financial counselor for arrangements)

After Your Child’s Hospital Stay

The outpatient pharmacy can fill your child's discharge or take-home medication quickly and conveniently. If your child is staying in the hospital, the outpatient pharmacy may be able to deliver directly to their bedside. Please speak with your nurse or contact the pharmacy to learn more. The outpatient pharmacy can also compound oral medications as needed for your child.

How to Dispose of Old Medications

Arkansas Children's Hospital offers a safe way to dispose of unwanted medications. If you have medications that are outdated or no longer needed, we provide three convenient locations to deposit them.

Look inside ACH for the metal bins in these locations:

1. the main entrance past the admissions desk
2. outside the entrance to the outpatient pharmacy
3. the 2nd floor of the South Wing by the Southwest Entrance

Insurance

The outpatient pharmacy accepts most major prescription insurances, Arkansas Medicaid and PASSE (Arkansas Total Care, Empower Healthcare Solutions, and Summit Community Care). Please present your prescription insurance card at the pharmacy to determine if we are in-network with your insurance provider.
