"VA won't give me the same medication that I can get outside the VA."
I get the same meds and at a far better price.
Jardiance:' outside $395 per month. VA. $15 for 3 months.

There are MANY current meds that are NOT in the VA formulary and which you can't get from the VA regardless of need without going through a LENGTHY process of getting them approved for dissemination outside of the regular pharmacy channels. Some of these are currently Trintellix (an antidepressant) and Ozempic (diabetes). I have had all too many meds denied over the years because they weren't currently in the VA formulary, and the VA wanted to prescribe only out of date meds that, basically, made my non-VA doctors shudder. The VA is AT LEAST a decade behind in its formulary. When I complained about this in a survey, I did get a call from a VA representative who basically offered me excuses. (sorry for the all-caps, but trying to get things underlined merely leads to getting a display of the code behind the page)
