Bill overview
The Veterans Prescription Flexibility Act aims to ensure veterans have access to necessary medications during public health emergencies. It allows the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover up to a 90-day supply of prescription drugs, including over-the-counter medications and medical supplies, when written by specific healthcare providers. This expansion of coverage is intended to address potential shortages and ensure veterans can obtain the medications they need. The bill focuses on increasing the availability of these supplies during times of crisis.
