We have multiple pharmacy programs at the PWAFC to aid medication access for our patients. We have a licensed pharmacy on site and work with the nonprofit NOVA ScriptsCentral for chronic-illness medications.
$4 Medications: When possible, we prescribe medications from the $4 medication lists at retail pharmacies such as Walmart and Harris Teeter.
Our Pharmacy: We dispense acute- and chronic-illness medications in bridge doses while we wait for multi-month supplies to be delivered from NOVA ScriptsCentral.
NOVA ScriptsCentral: NOVA ScriptsCentral is a non-profit organization based in Northern Virginia that fills up to three months of medications at a time for $5 per medication. They have a separate eligibility and application process for acceptance into their program; our Medication Case Managers will help patients complete those applications.
Although we strive to provide all the medications our patients need, we are unable to obtain certain medications. Many medications are unaffordable for the PWAFC to purchase, however, we will do our best to enroll patients in Patient Assistance Programs or find another medication for their condition. We do not and will not prescribe controlled medications or narcotics.
