Electronic Prescriptions (Safest, most efficient, and preferred)
Sending prescriptions electronically is the safest and most preferred method for all prescriptions. Controlled substance prescriptions can also be sent electronically by your provider. Ask your provider to send all your prescriptions electronically to “DOD Redstone.”
Hard Copy (Paper) Prescriptions
If your provider is unable to send your prescriptions electronically, hard-copy prescriptions will be accepted. Electronic prescribing of controlled substances is now allowed.
