As a Certified Pharmacy Technician at Food City, you will play a crucial role in supporting the pharmacy operations and ensuring that customers receive the highest level of service. Your primary responsibilities will include the successful completion of the required coursework and examination for certification from the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) or the Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (ICPT). You will be authorized to receive oral prescriptions from prescribers or their authorized designees, provided that this is allowed by state regulations and authorized by the Pharmacist in Charge. This will primarily involve handling new telephone prescriptions, ensuring that all information is accurately recorded and processed.

You will also be tasked with entering data into the computer system, maintaining a clean work area, and assisting in the stocking of pharmacy department supplies. Your role will also involve operating the cash register and assisting customers in finding over-the-counter products, as well as preparing insurance claims and verifying payments. Your position may also include additional job duties as assigned, reflecting the dynamic nature of the pharmacy environment.
