You may fill your prescriptions with the Cancer Center pharmacist, conveniently located adjacent to the Cancer Clinics in the K module. Our Cancer Center pharmacist is familiar with the medications that our physicians prescribe and will have these medications on hand to dispense to you.

 

The staff can also help you with questions about payment, reimbursement and special drug programs for prescriptions. This pharmacy is affiliated with the other UW Hospital and Clinics pharmacies and accepts most prescription plans. If you have any questions at all about your medications, please consult the Cancer Center pharmacist in person or by phone at (608) 263-7025.

 

 

Occasionally, people seen at the Cancer Clinics may require hospitalization on the day they visit the clinic. If you need to stay in the hospital, we will help prepare your admission materials. The admission process will be described to you, and financial advisors can answer any questions about your insurance coverage.

You may be offered the option to receive treatment on a clinical trial at our center.
