Ive always had my VA meds sent to my PO Box address..

The problem in the last couple of years with meds from the VA is that the local VA clinics don’t have pharmacies any more to fill emergency prescriptions..

If you have a life threatening situation or pain where you need the meds the doctor prescribed today too bad..

you have to wait 2, 3 weeks for the meds to come in the mail..

Or you could fill the prescription yourself at a local pharmacy.

Part of the DOD MANDATE EXPRESS SCRIPTS on Tricare Life, lets you get ER scripts, antibiotics if they are a 1-2 time fill, or a pain med for after surgery at a regular pharmacy. No waiting, you do have to pay the co-pay.

Millington Naval Base lost the doctors and hospital when it went from a training base to BUPERS. Now all we have is a dispensary, that is NOT senior friendly.
