How to find a TRICARE-approved pharmacy?

Detailed Answer
Finding a TRICARE-approved pharmacy ensures you pay the lowest possible copays for your prescription medications. Use the Express Scripts pharmacy locator available online at express-scripts.com/TRICARE to search for network retail pharmacies near your location. The search tool allows you to filter by distance, pharmacy name, and 24-hour availability. You can also use the Express Scripts mobile app for on-the-go pharmacy searches. Major national chains in the TRICARE retail pharmacy network include CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Kroger, and many independent pharmacies. Military pharmacies at installations offer the lowest costs ($0 for all medications) and can be found through the military installation directory on tricare.mil. For home delivery prescriptions, Express Scripts/TRICARE handles the pharmacy service directly. Using a non-network pharmacy will result in higher costs, as you may need to pay full price and file a claim for partial reimbursement. When using a network pharmacy, present your military ID card and inform the pharmacist that you have TRICARE. The pharmacy will process the claim electronically and charge you only the applicable copay. Verify network status before each visit as pharmacy participation can change.
