Save Time and Money with TRICARE's Mail Order Pharmacy

Did you know that filling your prescription can be as quick and easy as picking up your mail? The TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program* lets you order and receive your long-term maintenance medications at home. Best of all, you’ll save money. With the mail-order program, you pay the same copayment that you’re used to at the retail pharmacy, but you get a 90-day supply rather than a 30-day supply. Plus, you’ll save the cost of gasoline and the time it takes to drive to the pharmacy. Your copayments for a 90-day supply of medications through the mail-order program are as follows:

Formulary generic drugs: $3
Formulary brand-name drugs (if your doctor authorizes it): $9
Non-formulary generic or brand-name drugs: $22

Plus, you get the same peace of mind with the mail order. Like the retail or military treatment facility (MTF) pharmacy, the mail-order program uses the Pharmacy Data Transaction Service. This automated tool reviews all of your TRICARE prescriptions against your complete medication history before dispensing a new prescription. This enhances your safety by reducing the possibility of adverse drug-to-drug interactions or duplicate treatments. So, save time and money, and enroll today.

* To use the mail-order pharmacy overseas, the prescription must be from a U.S.-licensed provider and you must have an APO or FPO address. Medications that require refrigeration cannot be shipped to APO or FPO addresses.

How to Enroll

Enrolling in the mail-order program is quick and easy through the new Member Choice Center (MCC). To use the mail-order pharmacy, choose one of the following options:

Call the MCC at 1-877-363-1433. An MCC patient care advocate will walk you through the process, pull up records, verify information, process your enrollment and convert your medication(s) to home delivery.

Visit Express Scripts. Simply log on and switch your medications to the mail-order option with a few clicks of the mouse.

Mail your registration form. If you prefer, print the online mail-order registration form (or find it in the mail-order pharmacy brochure), fill it out and mail it to Express Scripts.
