Specialty Medications

Specialty medications are usually high-cost, self-administered, injectable, oral or infused medications that treat serious chronic conditions (e.g., multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and hepatitis C). These drugs typically require special storage and handling, are difficult to administer, and are not readily available at your local pharmacy. These drugs may also have side effects that require monitoring by a pharmacist and/or nurse. 

The Specialty Medication Care Management program is structured to improve your health through continuous health evaluation, ongoing monitoring, assessment of educational needs, and management of medication use. This program provides:

• Access to proactive, clinically based services for specific diseases designed to help you get the most benefit from your medicine
• Refill reminder calls each month
• Scheduled deliveries to your specified location
• Specialty consultation with nurse/pharmacist at any point during your therapy

These services are provided to you at no additional cost when you receive your medications through the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery. Participation is voluntary. If you or your provider orders a specialty medication from the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery, you will receive additional information from Express Scripts about the Specialty Medication Care Management program and how to get started. Specialty drugs are subject to applicable cost-shares.
