After 7 months why do I not have all my medications? Tried to get care are the VA women clinic everything I was told would be done was not on my first visit, in fact most of it was turned so I had to do it myself, like get my medical records send to clinic. I started Feb 2020 to get my medications from VA. It has be a fight to whole way and I still do not have one of them. The one I do not have yet is not on the formality, the two that is on the list I can not take, one I am allergic the other interacts with one of my other medications. PCP has not did the paperwork required to get my medication I can take(was told it was going to be done). It is 7 months and the paperwork has not be completed for me to get my medication. I can not get status on getting the med and no one will answer my questions on the portal. How can I a new PCP in a totally different clinic? Tried to file a complaint and patient relations just wanted to return to the doctor and clinic that will not do anything. Plus one of the medications I take for blood pressure was just up and changed the way I take it from twice a day to just once a day. Well that send my blood pressure to stroke levels had to take my emergency medications because of the change. Why was the medications changed?

I wish you luck. The VA is always a crapshoot. some are really good, some are really bad and some are in between. My daughter has never had any problems with the VA but when I got off active duty the VA totally dropped the ball on a deployment related injury. I wound up going to a private doctor and using my own insurance because the VA told me the next available appointment for an orthopedic eval was 9 months away.
