TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy: Good for Long-term Medications
|
TRICARE beneficiaries have a few options for filling medication prescriptions. Among them is the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program, which allows beneficiaries to receive up to a 90-day supply of regular medications. This may be especially helpful for your patients who take medications to manage chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, arthritis or asthma.
TRICARE beneficiaries who use the mail-order program can have their long-term prescription medications delivered directly to their homes, eliminating the need to make repeat trips to the military treatment facility or retail pharmacy. Additionally, beneficiaries pay the same copayment for a 90-day supply of medications ordered through the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program as they would for a 30-day supply at a retail pharmacy.
With the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program, your patients can order refills by mail, phone, online or fax any time of day, any day of the week, which may increase their adherence to medication regimens.
