About the Program

The VA Central Iowa pharmacy processes many prescriptions daily. Many of these prescriptions are filled by the Consolidated Mail Outpatient Program (CMOP). Prescriptions may be refilled by phone, mail, or the Internet.

Services Offered

Automated Refill Line

An automated refill line is available for all VA Central Iowa patients 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. Please call the following number:

  • 1-800-661-0827

If you are using the automated refill line, all refills should be ordered at least fourteen days prior to when the refill is due to insure prompt processing and delivery time.

Internet Refill

Prescriptions may also be filled online using VA's My HealtheVet program. You will need a user id and password to log in. If you do not have one, you can easily get one by creating your personal profile.

Refills by Mail
