Veterans Prescription Medication Programs

VETERANS' BENEFITS
"Veterans can get prescription drugs at nominal cost at Veterans Administration outpatient clinics. And beginning in April, Medicare-eligible military retirees will be able to get prescription drugs at lower prices at local pharmacies and to participate in the Department of Defense mail-order prescription-drug benefit program."

" The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provides a broad spectrum of medical, surgical, and rehabilitative care to its customers. Our goal is to share information about these benefits and services to make it as easy as possible for you to receive the care you need."
