Veterans Affairs pharmacy benefits — enrolled veterans
VA Pharmacy serves enrolled veterans through 1,000+ VA medical centers. Distinct from Tricare (active/retiree) — VA covers veterans with service-connected conditions or income-based enrollment. Uses national VA formulary with regional override capability.
VA Pharmacy covers Ozempic and Mounjaro for T2D at $0-$11 copay (priority group dependent). Weight-loss indications (Wegovy, off-label Mounjaro for weight) are not on national VA formulary. Zepbound coverage emerging in some VISN regions via OSA + obesity criterion. Local VAMC pharmacist can request non-formulary override for documented medical necessity.
