🛠️ EFMP Packet Processing Delay at Winn ACH 🛠️

A recent upgrade to the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) system is causing temporary delays in packet processing and response times. We are actively fixing technical issues.

IMPACT:
* Slower packet processing/updates.
* Limited access to some forms/data.
* Longer wait times for email/phone replies.

CRITICAL ACTION: Any EFMP packet that was in process during the system transition has reverted to Step 1. To avoid additional delay, the service member must log into the EFMP portal and resubmit the packet now.

Thank you for your patience as we finalize the transition to the more efficient EFMP 2.0 platform.

Questions? Call the EFMP office at 571-801-6541 or 571-801-6542.

Winn Army Community Hospital and its outlying clinics and pharmacies remain operational during the lapse in government appropriations.

This includes filling our beneficiaries’ prescriptions.

Winn continues to purchase supplies as needed due to our critical mission of providing health care to our 3rd Infantry Division warfighters, retirees, and their families.

Prescriptions are ordered daily based on need and other requirements. We do have a short list of prescriptions that are out of stock.

When a beneficiary needs one of those drugs, we provide options, including waiting for the drug to be ordered, transferring out of the network to fill the prescription, or work with the health care provider for a different, in-stock prescription.

We understand the challenges this presents to our beneficiaries; please continue to give us your patience. Also, don’t hesitate to continue making Winn your first choice for health care and, feel free to utilize Q-anywhere at 833-457-2014 to text the pharmacy any questions along with your prescription activation request.
