TRICARE’s Pharmacy Benefit (Article 4) |
|
While prescription drug costs are on the rise, TRICARE beneficiaries continue to enjoy robust pharmacy benefits for minimal out-of-pocket expenses. You have four options for filling your prescriptions: |
|
1. MTF Pharmacy
|
|
MTF pharmacies can accept most written prescriptions as long as the prescription drug is on the local MTF formulary (list of approved medications). Contact your MTF pharmacy to see what is on its formulary. You can fill up to a 90-day supply of most medications. |
|
2. TMOP |
|
TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP) lets you fill up to a 90-day supply of most medications through the mail. To use TMOP, simply complete a registration form, available on the Express Scripts Web site. Then, mail your written prescription and the appropriate copayment to ESI. New prescriptions may also be faxed or called in by your provider. Within 10-14 days, the medications are sent directly to you. For more information, visit the Express Scripts Web site or call
1-866-DoD-TMOP. |
|
3. TRRx |
|
The TRICARE Retail Pharmacy (TRRx) network lets you use any of more than 54,000 retail pharmacies to fill up to a 30-day supply of most medications. To find a network pharmacy, use the pharmacy locator at Express Scripts Web site or call
1-866-DoD-TRRx. |
|
4. Non-Network Pharmacies |
|
Filling prescriptions at a non-network pharmacy is the most expensive option and is not recommended.
You can find the most current information about TRICARE’s pharmacy benefit, including Uniform Formulary updates, costs and instructions on filling your prescriptions, on the TRICARE Web site.
