Ray,IN Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Copied from their email: "TRICARE’s over-the-counter (OTC) drug coverage is here to stay. Formerly a demonstration program, the OTC benefit becomes a permanent part of the TRICARE pharmacy benefit on Feb. 1, 2016. Effective that date, TRICARE is making some changes to OTC coverage to bring it in line with other TRICARE pharmacy coverage. Starting Feb. 1, beneficiaries must pay the usual generic copays for covered OTC drugs. OTC drug coverage will still require a prescription from their doctor. Female beneficiaries can still get Levonorgestrel (the Plan B one-step emergency contraceptive), without a copay or prescription at a network or military pharmacy." 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

RV_ Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 But if like me you get your scripts filled at a military pharmacy, no changes.

Ray,IN Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'd much prefer that Derek, but the nearest MTF with a pharmacy is over 3 hours from our house. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

RV_ Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I hear ya Ray but I was just clarifying before someone thought that it applied to MTF Pharmacies too. I always jump when I read the Tricare headlines on Military.com too.

Ray,IN Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The asthma Dr wants me to take Mucenex DM (OTC) daily now, I'm gonna have him write a script and mail it to Express-Scripts to see what happens. A system test, if you will. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis. USA IN 1SG retired;Good Sam Life member,FMCA ."

marspec2003 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've used Express Scripts for many years and only have a small problem when the Rx requires prior authorization. Usually cleared up in a few days. They seem to be a little more organized lately with renewals, electronically getting the renewals from the doctor if you are enrolled in automatic refills.
