Traveling & Forgot Meds
Hey there! I flew out of state yesterday to go visit my dad and was rushing to get to the airport and left without my medication. Its a weekend. My MH provider only works Tuesday's & Thursday's. I called my home VA pharmacies 24/7 number and they said without a doctor to approve it, they cannot send me a 7 day supply to a pharmacy where I am at. The closest VA hospital to my dad's that has a pharmacy is 3 hours away. What are my options to get a 7 day supply of 1 prescription (venlafaxine) sent to a pharmacy where my dad lives without having to spend 6 hours round trip in a vehicle?
ETA: After 2 phone calls to the VA, I ended up going to a local civilian walk-in clinic that a VA employee told me would work with Optum and they told me to tell them I am there to utilize the Mission Act. The lady on the phone also told me what pharmacies were options to use and gave me all the numbers I would need for the VA to be billed. Much more helpful VA employee today!
