46 | ;;Dear Veteran:
|
---|
47 | ;;
|
---|
48 | ;;I am pleased to tell you that you may be eligible for a new, temporary
|
---|
49 | ;;prescription benefit, called the VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefit. The
|
---|
50 | ;;goal is to reduce the costs of your medication while you are waiting to
|
---|
51 | ;;see a VA primary care doctor.
|
---|
52 | ;;
|
---|
53 | ;;1. AM I ELIGIBLE FOR THIS NEW BENEFIT?
|
---|
54 | ;;
|
---|
55 | ;;You are eligible for this benefit if you meet all of the following
|
---|
56 | ;;requirements.
|
---|
57 | ;;
|
---|
58 | ;; a. You are enrolled in the VA health care system prior to July
|
---|
59 | ;;25, 2003; and
|
---|
60 | ;; b. You have requested your first primary care appointment with
|
---|
61 | ;;VA prior to July 25, 2003; and
|
---|
62 | ;; c. You have been waiting more than 30 days for the initial
|
---|
63 | ;;primary care appointment as of September 22, 2003.
|
---|
64 | ;;
|
---|
65 | ;;2. WHAT IS THE NEW BENEFIT?
|
---|
66 | ;;
|
---|
67 | ;; The new benefit allows VA to fill your prescriptions written by a
|
---|
68 | ;;non-VA doctor, until you have your first primary care appointment with
|
---|
69 | ;;VA. VA will only provide your medications by mail. VA may also bill
|
---|
70 | ;;your health insurance, and you may have to pay a co-payment based on your
|
---|
71 | ;;eligibility and financial status.
|
---|
72 | ;;
|
---|
73 | ;; The medications provided by this benefit include many of the drugs
|
---|
74 | ;;listed on the VA National Formulary List. We have enclosed a shortened
|
---|
75 | ;;version of that list for your doctor's use. Under this program, VA will
|
---|
76 | ;;not provide controlled substances (such as narcotics), intravenous
|
---|
77 | ;;medications, over-the-counter medications (except insulin and
|
---|
78 | ;;syringes), medical supplies, and one-time medications for acute illnesses
|
---|
79 | ;;(such as antibiotics). Additionally, VA will not provide medications
|
---|
80 | ;;required to be administered only by a medical professional.
|
---|
81 | ;;
|
---|
82 | ;;3. HOW DO I START?
|
---|
83 | ;;
|
---|
84 | ;; To obtain your medications, please do the following:
|
---|
85 | ;;
|
---|
86 | ;; a. Fill out the top portion of the attached VA Form 10-0411,
|
---|
87 | ;;VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefit (the Patient Information part).
|
---|
88 | ;; b. Take the attached letter ("Dear Doctor"), the enclosed
|
---|
89 | ;;Transitional Pharmacy Benefit Drug Formulary Summary brochure, and VA
|
---|
90 | ;;Form 10-0411, VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefit, to your private doctor.
|
---|
91 | ;; c. Ask your doctor to:
|
---|
92 | ;;
|
---|
93 | ;; (1) Complete the Doctor Information section of VA Form 10-0411.
|
---|
94 | ;; (2) Attach a prescription for each medication and include your
|
---|
95 | ;;name and social security number; and
|
---|
96 | ;; (3) Mail these documents to the following address using the
|
---|
97 | ;;enclosed envelope.
|
---|
98 | ;;
|
---|
99 | ;;*****
|
---|
100 | ;;
|
---|
101 | ;;4. HOW WILL I GET MY MEDICATIONS?
|
---|
102 | ;;
|
---|
103 | ;; Prescriptions from your non-VA doctor must be mailed in the
|
---|
104 | ;;enclosed envelope to the address shown above. Our goal is to mail your
|
---|
105 | ;;medications to you within 7 to 10 days after receiving your
|
---|
106 | ;;prescription. If you have questions or concerns about your mailed
|
---|
107 | ;;medications, you may contact
|
---|
108 | ;;*****
|
---|
109 | ;;VA will provide sufficient medication to meet your needs until your first
|
---|
110 | ;;primary care appointment. Please make sure your doctor mails the
|
---|
111 | ;;enclosed form and prescriptions. VA is not able to process these
|
---|
112 | ;;prescriptions by fax, phone, or email. If your doctor does not provide
|
---|
113 | ;;all the requested information, VA cannot send your medication.
|
---|
114 | ;;
|
---|
115 | ;;5. WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?
|
---|
116 | ;;
|
---|
117 | ;; More information about this benefit can be found on the VA's
|
---|
118 | ;;Internet Web site, at http://www.va.gov/elig/tpb.htm. If you still have
|
---|
119 | ;;questions, please call 1-877-222-8387.
|
---|
120 | ;;
|
---|
121 | ;;6. PLEASE KEEP YOUR FIRST PRIMARY CARE APPOINTMENT!
|
---|
122 | ;;
|
---|
123 | ;; Once VA has scheduled your first primary care appointment, please
|
---|
124 | ;;remember that it is very important to keep that appointment. If you must
|
---|
125 | ;;cancel your appointment, please advise the appointment clerk that you are
|
---|
126 | ;;a VA Transitional Pharmacy Benefits patient and explain why you are
|
---|
127 | ;;canceling. VA understands that there are occasions when you must cancel
|
---|
128 | ;;your appointment. However, if you cancel your appointment simply for
|
---|
129 | ;;your own convenience, or if you fail to show up for your scheduled
|
---|
130 | ;;appointment without an acceptable reason, you may no longer be eligible
|
---|
131 | ;;for this benefit.
|
---|
132 | ;;
|
---|
133 | ;; During your first primary care appointment, your VA doctor will
|
---|
134 | ;;review all treatments, including all your medications, and make changes
|
---|
135 | ;;as appropriate and give you refills.
|
---|
136 | ;;
|
---|
137 | ;; VA is committed to serving you by providing this benefit to
|
---|
138 | ;;reduce your medication costs while you wait for your first primary care
|
---|
139 | ;;appointment. Thank you for your patience. We hope to see you soon.
