The Baruch College Student Health Care Center is not a pharmacy. It cannot transfer prescriptions from any pharmacy. The physician assistant can either write a prescription to give to the student or call and dictate the prescription to the pharmacist located at any of the pharmacies nearby the college campus or else located in New York State.

If a Baruch College Student coming from another country or out of state is registered to take classes at this campus and has a chronic medical condition that warrants daily or routine use of prescription medicine, that student should make it possible to carry enough supply for that semester before they return to their provider out of state or to their respective country. Only under emergency circumstances (student ran out of supply, will see provider in 1-2 weeks, and is dependent on medication for survival) the physician assistant can prescribe a 2-week refill of a chronic medication (that is not psychiatric nor narcotic) with permission of the medical director/supervisor made aware of the need for refill medication for that student. If that Baruch College student needs even more supply of medications, the Health center will provide means of referring that student to a provider or specialist in New York City who can continue that care.

Any Baruch College student with medications written by another provider and needing more that can be sent to any pharmacy in New York City or of their choice within New York State, will be given a referral to a doctor (insured and uninsured students alike) of the same specialty as the original provider so that they can get more prescriptions sent to a pharmacy of their choice in New York State.
