REFILLING PRESCRIPTIONS
on My HealtheVet is FAST and EASY 

Prescription Refill moves to Premium only before the end of the year.  

The fastest and easiest way to order your prescription refills during COVID-19 operations, is to use the prescription refill feature of
My HealtheVet.  If you have refills remaining, it is just click, click and SUBMIT.  The following day, you can check back for the fill date.  

If you do not have refills remaining, you can copy and paste the prescription info and send a Secure Message to your provider. If you have questions about your prescriptions, you can also send a Secure Message to "Ask a Pharmacist." (Premium Users can use the Secure Messaging. Call 877-327-0022 or Mike L'Abbe at (207) 512-6983 for more information.)

(Prescription Refill is expected to move to Premium by the end of 2021.)
