<![CDATA[TO: UIUC Faculty and Staff
FROM: Kathleen Pecknold, Associate Provost and Director, Academic Human
Resources
Beginning Monday, February 25, 2002, UIUC female employees will be offered
free oral contraceptives through McKinley Health Center. Chancellor Nancy
Cantor approved the extension of a McKinley program that provides free oral
contraceptives for students.
Information about program eligibility, products and procedures is provided
below and at http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/pharmacy/eocp.html. If you have
questions, please contact me at kpecknol@uiuc.edu.
McKINLEY HEALTH CENTER
EMPLOYEE ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE PROGRAM
Who is eligible for the Employee Oral Contraceptive Program?
The Oral Contraceptive Program is available to female UIUC employees only.
Spouses and dependents are not covered; and female UIUC employees who are
enrolled in a health care plan that covers contraceptive services are also
not eligible for this program.
What brands of pills are covered?
Currently the program covers only these four products:
Ortho-Tri-Cyclen-28
Ortho-Cyclen-28
Ortho Novum 777-28
Ortho Novum 1/35-28.
No other brands of oral contraceptive pills or methods of contraception are
covered.
What do I do if the pill that I am using is not one of those covered?
If you are using another oral contraceptive and want to receive oral
contraceptives from the McKinley Pharmacy, please contact your provider and
ask about switching. The Pharmacy cannot switch pills without a new
prescription from your provider. The Pharmacy does not carry generics for
these and does not substitute.
How does the program work?
Only prescriptions for the pills named above can be accepted. There are
several ways to order the pills:
In Person: Bring your prescription, along with your University ID card and
the Oral Contraceptive Registration Form to the McKinley Pharmacy. It will
take 24 hours for your prescription to be processed. Prescriptions dropped
off on Saturday will be completed by Monday afternoon.
By mail: Mail the prescription, a completed Registration Form and a copy
of your ID by US mail to:
McKinley Health Center Pharmacy
1109 S. Lincoln Ave.
Urbana, IL 61801
You can also have your health care provider complete and sign the Oral
Contraceptive Registration Form and bring or mail that in. It will serve
as a prescription and also give us the information we need to process your
request. The form can be downloaded from our web site:
www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/pharmacy/eocpform.html.
The Pharmacy cannot accept transferred or phoned in prescriptions at this
time.
What are the McKinley Pharmacy hours?
During the academic year:
Monday-Friday 8am-5:30pm
Saturday 8:30am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-4:30pm
Sunday Closed
Summer and Break hours:
Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm
Saturday 9am-12:30pm and 1pm-4pm
Sunday Closed
How do I request refills?
We recommend that you request refills through the McKinley Pharmacy web
page (www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/pharmacy). You can also phone our refill line
at 244-2511. Again, a 24-hour turnaround time applies.
Can I have my prescription mailed to me?
Not at this time.
How do I get started?
Complete the registration form and give it to your health care provider.
After your provider signs it, bring it to the McKinley Pharmacy along with
your University ID card. You can also bring a prescription directly to the
Pharmacy, with your ID card, and complete the employee section of the form
while you are here.
