VA Prescription Refills FAQs
VA Prescription (Rx) Tracker
What is a VA Mail Order Pharmacy?
A VA Mail Order Pharmacy is a service which dispenses and mails VA prescriptions to Veterans.
If you are a VA patient, you may be given a prescription (Rx) from your VA provider. When you do, the prescription is received and processed by a VA Pharmacy.
A new or immediate need prescription may be picked up at the Pharmacy window of your VA facility. A VA Mail Order Pharmacy is responsible for dispensing and sending prescriptions that are delivered to you. Most VA prescriptions will be sent to you by a VA Mail Order Pharmacy.
If there are any questions or problems with your prescription, you can contact the VA pharmacy that issued the prescription. The phone number can be found on the prescription label. These issues are addressed by your VA Pharmacy in coordination with the VA Mail Order Pharmacy.
Are there requirements to use the Prescription Tracker?
The Prescription Tracker requires that you have a Premium My HealtheVet account. You must also have a current VA prescription that is being handled by the VA Mail Order Pharmacy.
