*Bergie* Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Is there any loopholes in the VA system to get RX's filled that are written by our private MD's? Why can't you tell your VA doctor that your private doctor wrote a prescription and ask that it be filled by VA for financial reasons. I do this and have had no problems.

Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted November 27, 2010 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 27, 2010 You might want to try and visit your VA PCP (or referral to a VA specialist) to see if they would write a script for it. That might work, unless like me, some meds you take are not on the VA formulary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted November 27, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 27, 2010 I read where they call oxycontin "hillbilly heroin". The VA would not prescribe it for me. I think it depends on cost. They will dispense morphine and methadone because it is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOL BREEZE Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I had my other insurance fill VA medications when a co-pay was issued for non service connection medication. I asked the doctor to write the script, took it to my on base pharmacy and got it for free. Now that I'm 50% they can't tack on co-payments-they tried twice in the last few months- after letting them know they to verify my current disability, they gave in.
