FIND A NETWORK PHARMACY
At non-network pharmacies, you will pay full price for your medication and have to file a claim for reimbursement. Reimbursements are subject to deductible or out-of-network cost-shares and TRICARE-required co-payments. All deductibles must be met before any reimbursement can be made, so this is another reason to use home delivery or MTF pharmacies.
Be sure to discuss your prescription options with your doctor to determine if a lower-cost medication can work for you.
