Pharmacy

However, it is the patient’s responsibility to verify prescription benefits with their insurance carriers; and payment can be made using cash, check or major credit cards. Payment is required when prescriptions are filled. The pharmacy staff will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding your medication or prescription charges by calling 303.398.1582 or visiting the pharmacy located in the main lobby. The pharmacy hours are Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
