and reduce risk of sending unneeded medications, VA does not automatically issue refills. To receive a medication refill, you must actively request it using one of the methods described

here. Because COVID19 is impacting the timeliness of mail delivery, it is more important than ever to make refill requests once your current supply arrives. Veterans who run out of

medication should call 1- and speak with a VA pharmacy representative. VA Community Care Network changes to Optum for urgent care and pharmacy benefits. Beginning 3/18/2020 Veterans can find

in-network Urgent Care locations or pharmacies using the VA Facility Locator at https://www.va.gov/find-locations/  IN CRISIS? LET US HELP YOU Veterans and their loved ones in crisis can
