The Choctaw Nation has a program that provides medications at a reduced price to
Choctaw living anywhere in the United States.
The tribe has an agreement with a national mail order pharmaceutical network (PRxN) to
provide prescription drugs through mail order for all Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma tribal
members living both inside and outside of the tribal boundaries.
Patients who need prescription drugs that are not available at the tribal hospital and
clinics may be able to get medical supplies and prescriptions from this mail order
pharmacy. Tribal members who live outside of the 10 and 1/2 county boundary and cannot
access the Indian health facilities in the Choctaw Nation will also be able to save money
by ordering their maintenance medications from this mail order pharmacy.
The price of the medicines and supplies from this mail order pharmacy is reduced from what
individuals are accustomed to paying in retail pharmacies. These lower prices are possible
because of the tribe's utilization of federal price schedules that are only available to
Native Americans.
To enable you to receive this tremendously reduced pricing, the Choctaw Nation must
document Indian eligibility to the mail order pharmacy. If you wish to use this mail order
source for your prescriptions, please complete the application
and return it to the Choctaw Nation Health Care Center, Mail Order Pharmacy, one Choctaw
Way, Talihina OK 74571 with a copy of your Tribal Membership Card. The application
requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader available at www.adobe.com.
Once we receive your application, and eligibility is approved, instructions on how to
use the service and postage-paid mailer envelopes for ordering medications will be sent to
you. There will be a toll-free phone number to call and receive free price quotes.
Personal checks and most major credit cards will be accepted for payment.
This does not replace existing prescriptions provided by health care facilities within the
Choctaw Nation boundaries.
