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.

Medical illustrator paints prosthetic mask


59 MDW: Art, medicine merge in patient care

William Vance, 59th Medical Wing medical illustrator, airbrushes a compression mask at Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center on Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. Vance uses his artistic skills to support the creation of a custom-made pressure mask and facial prosthetic. Normally, compression masks are standard, but in this case, the mask is tailored to the patient’s facial counters to more closely resemble their pre-surgical anatomy. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech.
