Dad’s VA prescriptions arrived in the mail yesterday and so far they appear to be free! The only thing is the doctors supposedly ordered three prescriptions and only two came. We don’t know if the other is on its way or if it’s not coming at all. I guess we’ll wait a few more days to find out. The other thing is they gave us the generic versions of the drugs. Hopefully this won’t be a problem. At the very least, we can try it and if it doesn’t work, then that is more proof to go back to the VA and tell them we need the brand name. The doctors mentioned the VA pharmacy might do this and it’s a process. You have to try the generic and if it doesn’t work, then it’s more support for having the VA issue us the brand name.
We’re still waiting on the VA clinic referral to come through for Dad to get a full work up and testing. I hope it comes through soon because Dad still needs his other meds that are normally prescribed by the neurologist. The last VA visit they said Dad would have to wait for the work up to get the neuro meds. Fingers crossed it all comes together soon.
