- ;;Dear Veteran:
- ;;
- ;;I am pleased to tell you that you may be eligible for a new, temporary
- ;;prescription benefit, called the VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefit. The
- ;;goal is to reduce the costs of your medication while you are waiting to
- ;;see a VA primary care doctor.
- ;;
- ;;1. AM I ELIGIBLE FOR THIS NEW BENEFIT?
- ;;
- ;;You are eligible for this benefit if you meet all of the following
- ;;requirements.
- ;;
- ;; a. You are enrolled in the VA health care system prior to July
- ;;25, 2003; and
- ;; b. You have requested your first primary care appointment with
- ;;VA prior to July 25, 2003; and
- ;; c. You have been waiting more than 30 days for the initial
- ;;primary care appointment as of September 22, 2003.
- ;;
- ;;2. WHAT IS THE NEW BENEFIT?
- ;;
- ;; The new benefit allows VA to fill your prescriptions written by a
- ;;non-VA doctor, until you have your first primary care appointment with
- ;;VA. VA will only provide your medications by mail. VA may also bill
- ;;your health insurance, and you may have to pay a co-payment based on your
- ;;eligibility and financial status.
- ;;
- ;; The medications provided by this benefit include many of the drugs
- ;;listed on the VA National Formulary List. We have enclosed a shortened
- ;;version of that list for your doctor's use. Under this program, VA will
- ;;not provide controlled substances (such as narcotics), intravenous
- ;;medications, over-the-counter medications (except insulin and
- ;;syringes), medical supplies, and one-time medications for acute illnesses
- ;;(such as antibiotics). Additionally, VA will not provide medications
- ;;required to be administered only by a medical professional.
- ;;
- ;;3. HOW DO I START?
- ;;
- ;; To obtain your medications, please do the following:
- ;;
- ;; a. Fill out the top portion of the attached VA Form 10-0411,
- ;;VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefit (the Patient Information part).
- ;; b. Take the attached letter ("Dear Doctor"), the enclosed
- ;;Transitional Pharmacy Benefit Drug Formulary Summary brochure, and VA
- ;;Form 10-0411, VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefit, to your private doctor.
- ;; c. Ask your doctor to:
- ;;
- ;; (1) Complete the Doctor Information section of VA Form 10-0411.
- ;; (2) Attach a prescription for each medication and include your
- ;;name and social security number; and
- ;; (3) Mail these documents to the following address using the
- ;;enclosed envelope.
- ;;
- ;;*****
- ;;
- ;;4. HOW WILL I GET MY MEDICATIONS?
- ;;
- ;; Prescriptions from your non-VA doctor must be mailed in the
- ;;enclosed envelope to the address shown above. Our goal is to mail your
- ;;medications to you within 7 to 10 days after receiving your
- ;;prescription. If you have questions or concerns about your mailed
- ;;medications, you may contact
- ;;*****
- ;;VA will provide sufficient medication to meet your needs until your first
- ;;primary care appointment. Please make sure your doctor mails the
- ;;enclosed form and prescriptions. VA is not able to process these
- ;;prescriptions by fax, phone, or email. If your doctor does not provide
- ;;all the requested information, VA cannot send your medication.
- ;;
- ;;5. WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?
- ;;
- ;; More information about this benefit can be found on the VA's
- ;;Internet Web site, at http://www.va.gov/elig/tpb.htm. If you still have
- ;;questions, please call 1-999-999-9999.
- ;;
- ;;6. PLEASE KEEP YOUR FIRST PRIMARY CARE APPOINTMENT!
- ;;
- ;; Once VA has scheduled your first primary care appointment, please
- ;;remember that it is very important to keep that appointment. If you must
- ;;cancel your appointment, please advise the appointment clerk that you are
- ;;a VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefits patient and explain why you are
- ;;canceling. VA understands that there are occasions when you must cancel
- ;;your appointment. However, if you cancel your appointment simply for
- ;;your own convenience, or if you fail to show up for your scheduled
- ;;appointment without an acceptable reason, you may no longer be eligible
- ;;for this benefit.
- ;;
- ;; During your first primary care appointment, your VA doctor will
- ;;review all treatments, including all your medications, and make changes
- ;;as appropriate and give you refills.
- ;;
- ;; VA is committed to serving you by providing this benefit to
- ;;reduce your medication costs while you wait for your first primary care
- ;;appointment. Thank you for your patience. We hope to see you soon.
