Pork chop,
I can tell you from experience that what your hearing is incorrect. The VA can get abenas, dry 24/7, etc. It’s called a non formulary purchase. There are many vendors that are approved to sell these items to the VA. Your VA is just being difficult and refusing to deviate from the formulary. Don’t confuse Med/surg with pharmacy. Two different groups of supplies. If the vendor is approved, the VA can buy from them. The general public does not have access to this information to see the vendors. Hint: XP medical is approved. I would complain to the patient advocate. Pharmacy has complete control over this. Your doctor has very little effect. Your pharmacy is the one controlling the agenda. Your congressman may be of some help. The VA generally doesn’t like hearing from them about concerns of poor veteran care.
I used to get from XP Medical, I was told by the VA that they stopped dealing with the VA because of a payment dispute?
