Save Time and Money with the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy Program
|
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 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 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.
How to Enroll
Enrolling in the mail-order program is quick and easy through the 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 the Express Scripts Web site. 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.
