Services Offered

• Full-service pharmacy
• Pharmacy services/ TigerMeds Program
  • AUEP offers the TigerMeds® program. This program was introduced in November 2008 as a benefit for Auburn University employees and their dependents who have AU medical insurance. Through TigerMeds®, employees who transfer all of their prescription medications to the AU Employee Pharmacy (located on campus) can obtain most generic prescription medications free of charge ($0 co-pay). Through this program, there are several ways that employees and dependents can save on out-of-pocket medication expenses:
    • Through TigerMeds®, tier 1 generic prescription medications are free ($0 co-pay) and tier 2 generic medications are $10 per month. This would save you on average $10 to $15 per prescription for generic medications which would be $10 and $25 at other pharmacies.
    • TigerMeds® helps save Auburn University money on medical benefits which helps AU hold down the cost of your health insurance premiums.
    • When your pharmacist works together with your physician (or prescriber) and other members of your healthcare team, research has shown that you can benefit. The team can achieve better medical outcomes, often at a lower cost to you and your insurance plan.
    • To take advantage of these benefits, all you have to do is complete a new patient form to request that the pharmacy staff transfer all of your current active prescriptions from your previous pharmacy.
    • As a new patient in the TigerMeds® program, you can set up an appointment with one of our clinical pharmacists for a FREE baseline medication check-up. Our pharmacy staff can discuss this valuable service with you.
