Attention TRICARE beneficiaries!  
You may experience busy signals when calling the military pharmacy prescription refill interactive voice response system – or prescription refill line – Jan. 26 to Feb. 5, 2026, as the system is updated.  
Each military pharmacy’s prescription refill line may be unavailable for about two hours. If you call the prescription refill line at this time, you will hear a busy signal. Please wait and call back to complete your refill later.  
You may still use the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal to refill your prescriptions.  
You may report issues to the DHA Global Service Center by calling 800-600-9332.

Doctor photographs patient's facial mask


59 MDW: Art, medicine merge in patient care

U.S. Army Major (Dr.) Steven Handel (right), maxillofacial prosthodontist, photographs Sergeant 1st Class Randolph Adams’ compression mask and facial prosthetic, Sept. 2, 2021 at the Air Force Postgraduate Dental School on Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. Compression masks are used to reduce swelling. In this case, Handel and a team of medical staff added facial contours and other touches to create a mask that was more representative of Adams’ pre-surgical anatomy. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech.
