View Prescription History Information

You must be a registered My HealtheVet user and have checked the "VA Patient" checkbox during registration to view your prescription history. To use this service, click the Pharmacy tab in the main menu bar. Then click the RxRefill tab in the submenu just below the main menu bar. You will see your Pharmacy options in the left-hand menu panel. Choose Prescription History to see a list if your past VA prescribed medications.

The View Prescription History Information table contains six column headings. For security and confidentiality purposes, the prescription drug name will not be visible. Each prescription is referenced by its prescription number.

The information in the table is sorted primarily by Fill Date and secondarily by Prescription Number. The triangle symbol next to Fill Date indicates that this column can be sorted in ascending or descending order. You can click on any of the underlined column headings to sort the table information.

• Fill Date – For an Active prescription, the Fill Date is the date that the prescription was last refilled. Otherwise, the Fill Date indicates the next possible refill date. If a prescription has never been refilled, the Fill Date is the date that it was first issued.
• Prescription – This column displays the number of the prescription to be refilled. The prescription name will also be available for users who have completed the In-Person Authentication process.
• Refill Status – This column will display the status of the prescription. There are six possibilities related to prescription history status:
  • Active. A prescription is listed as Active if it is available for refill. To refill the prescription, you must open the Refill Prescriptions page by clicking on the left navigation bar.
  • Submitted. Submitted means that a refill request has been received by My HealtheVet, but has not been processed yet.
  • Refill in Process. This status indicates that a refill request is being processed by the issuing pharmacy. The entire row will be bolded when the refill is being processed. When a prescription is in the Refill in Process status, the Fill Date will indicate when the prescription will be ready for delivery via mail (by the Consolidated Mail Out Pharmacy (CMOP)).
  • Hold. The prescription has been put on hold by the pharmacy or the provider and is not available to be refilled.
  • Discontinued. Discontinued indicates that the prescription has been discontinued by the manufacturer of the drug or the VA provider.
  • Expired. This means that the prescription has expired.
• Last Updated – This column displays the date that the prescription information in My HealtheVet was last updated from the VA computer system, VistA, at the issuing facility.
• Facility – Facility is the name of the VA facility where the prescription was originally issued.
• View Detail – This column contains a magnifying glass symbol. Clicking on that symbol will open the View Prescription Detail page.

Updates to the prescription list or a change in status will be visible after midnight each calendar day.
