Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my prescription is covered?
All military pharmacies follow the
TRICARE Formulary – a list of TRICARE-covered prescription drugs and supplies. The TRICARE Formulary lists:
- Which drugs are covered.
- Drug information and frequently asked questions.
- Cost details ($0 at a military pharmacy and out-of-pocket costs elsewhere).
- Medical necessity/prior-authorization requirements and link to forms.
- If a prior-authorization and/or medical necessity is required, your provider must submit the request to TRICARE before your prescription can be filled.
Can my network provider send controlled substances prescriptions electronically?
Yes! By regulations, all prescribers should send controlled substance prescriptions electronically.
Can I refill a prescription if the last fill was not at a military pharmacy?
Yes! Call our main pharmacy line and ask them to transfer the prescription FROM your current pharmacy. It’s helpful to have the prescription bottle available to give the us the pharmacy name, phone number, prescription number, and medication name and dates.
Can I pick up medications for another person?
Yes! Please bring a valid uniformed services ID (or photocopy, digital pictures) for all patients getting prescriptions. Please note: Children 10 years of age or older must have their own ID card.
What is the difference between a new, refill, and renewal prescription?
A
new prescription is one a provider writes for a specific quantity and subsequent refills. It may require extra verification or prior authorization.
A
refill is an additional supply of your medication that your doctor authorized as part of your original prescription. This pre-approval allows the pharmacy to dispense more of your medication without requiring a new prescription from your doctor. For example, take one tablet daily, quantity 90 with 4 refills. This means the patient can call the pharmacy every 90 days to have medication for a year without seeing their doctor for a new prescription every 90 days.
A
renewal is for a medication you’ve already been prescribed but it has expired or run out of authorized refills.
What if I need a non-formulary or non-stocked medication?
If you’re prescribed a non-formulary medication, there are extra steps for your provider to complete. Non-formulary drugs are non-stocked medications at MTF pharmacies. For these drugs, expect a longer turnaround time for preparation and ordering, or you may have to use an alternative pharmacy option, such as a TRICARE retail network pharmacy or the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery.
What do I do if my medication is out of stock?
I’m deploying. How can I fill my prescriptions?
Before deploying, MTF pharmacies can provide your initial deployment prescription in a quantity to support your deployment within legal requirements. You can fill prescriptions and get refills through the
Deployment Prescription Program once in theatre if the location is not restricted by foreign postal law.
