Ask your PCP to write you a hand prescription and take it to a private pharmacy. Tell the pharmacy not to fill it but keep it in the system as an emergency backup in case the VA procrastinates and leaves you hanging.

Most VA docs can do this.

I could not get a pharmacy to fill my oxy script. They took one look at me and at the script and said "we don't carry it". Lots of robberies of this drug and just major scandal in Florida.

My husband takes a VA contracted med and the day it arrives I mark it on the calendar. The next morning, I call the refill in for the following month. MyHealthyVet is where I order the rest of his meds and can also verify the refill for the contracted pain med is listed. Only once did we have to pick up his pain med at the VAMC counter and that was when he first started taking it, actually it was the 2nd months supply because no one had told us "how to" re-order a pain contracted medication.

I am glad that it works better for you and your hubby. However as some can attest nothing works the same through out the system.
