Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Sept. 27, 1983
Report No. HRD-83-83
Subject
Summary:

GAO reviewed the Veterans Administration's (VA) efforts to reduce the number and cost of prescriptions filled by private pharmacies on a VA-reimbursable fee-for-service basis.

GAO found that, in fiscal year 1982, VA paid private pharmacies about $10.5 million in prescriptions for veterans with service-connected disabilities. VA determined that only about 5 percent of the fee-basis prescriptions needed to be filled by private pharmacies. Such prescriptions cost VA about twice as much as prescriptions filled through VA pharmacies. GAO noted that, although VA is making progress in reducing the percentage of fee-basis prescriptions filled by private pharmacies, over 20 percent of those prescriptions were filled by private pharmacies at six facilities contacted by GAO.
