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 accuracy and compliance with all relevant regulations.

This includes answering telephone inquiries that do not require a pharmacist's expertise, receiving written prescriptions or telephone refill requests, and gathering necessary information to prepare prescriptions. You will also be tasked with recording essential information before prescriptions can be dispensed, storing written prescription forms after dispensing, and entering data into the computer system. Your role will also involve stocking over-the-counter products, placing completed prescriptions in the designated pick-up area, assisting in preparing insurance claims, and verifying payments. You will help customers locate over-the-counter products and maintain a clean and organized work area. Additionally, you will assist in maintaining and stocking pharmacy department supplies, and you may be assigned additional job duties as needed. Operating the cash register will also be part of your responsibilities, ensuring smooth transactions for customers.
