A reported cyberattack on the nation’s largest commercial prescription processor, Change Healthcare, has affected military clinics and hospitals worldwide. On Feb. 21, Change Healthcare disconnected their systems to protect patient information. This is impacting all military pharmacies worldwide and some retail pharmacies nationally.
 
Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton and associated pharmacies will provide outpatient prescriptions through a manual procedure until this issue is resolved. Priority will be given to urgent prescriptions followed by routine prescriptions as manning and resources allow. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate the patience and understanding of our beneficiaries while it takes longer than usual to safely fill prescription needs. Visit the Pharmacy page on this website for Q&As.
