Costs
Express Scripts Pharmacy® will process your prescription and mail it to you. If a copayment applies, you’ll receive an invoice in the mail. Your doctor can submit prescriptions directly to us through the electronic medical record (EMR) at: Express Scripts Home Delivery Pharmacy, 4600 North Hanley Road, St. Louis, MO 63134. The TRICARE Pharmacy Program, administered by Express Scripts, is designed to provide the medications beneficiaries need, when they need them, in a safe, convenient and cost-effective manner.

Copayments will be waived retroactively to March 18 for certain testing and office visits related to the testing. The test must be one approved, cleared, or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to detect SARS-CoV-2 or diagnose COVID-19. If you paid any copayments for testing related to COVID-19 and the resulting office visits with a network or non- network provider, you may file a claim for reimbursement.

Tricare Drug Copays
Prescriptions filled on base will continue to be free.
The price increases were mandated by Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 in an effort to bring the amount TRICARE beneficiaries pay into line with the actual costs of prescription drugs. Because the US Family Health Plan is a TRICARE Prime program, the prescription drug price increases mandated by Congress will apply to US Family Health Plan beneficiaries. Annual increases are planned through 2027.
