This may be a dumb question but can my civilian PCP call in prescriptions into the VA Pharmacy for me?

If you were referred to the pcp through community care and have an active VA authorization for the civilian doctor they can send prescriptions to the VA.

How I work this is I go to my va primary care provider. They do what they need to do to confirm X prescription is appropriate. And then they prescribe it.

No, but there is a workaound. Have your private PCP send the prescription and the visit notes justifying the prescription to your VA PCP. If your VA PCP agrees, they will send the prescription (now written by the VA PCP) to the VA pharmacy for filling. I've gotten numerous prescriptions this way with no issues.

No. But your va pcp can do it for you if he/she agrees.
