Formulary

If a medication is not available on Kenner's formulary, you may be able to obtain the medication through the National Mail Order Pharmacy. Check with TRICARE to see what benefits are available to you.

To learn which medications are available through the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery or retail pharmacy benefit, please visit the TRICARE Formulary website.

Costs

Pharmacy costs are based on whether the prescription is classified as a formulary generic (Tier 1), formulary brand name (Tier 2) or non-formulary (Tier 3) drug, and where you choose to have your prescription filled.  Below is an overview of prescription costs:

Military Treatment Facility (MTF) Pharmacy

·         $0 copayment for up to a 90-day supply of most medications.

·         Not all medications are available at MTF pharmacies.  Call first to check availability.

TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy

·         $0 for generic formulary medications

·         $9 for brand-name formulary medications

·         $25 for non-formulary medications

May receive up to a 90-day supply of most medications for these copayments

TRICARE Retail Network Pharmacy

·         $5 for generic formulary medications

·         $12 for brand-name formulary medications

·         $25 for non-formulary medications

      You'll pay more to have prescriptions filled at non-network pharmacies and costs vary depending on who you are and which health plan you are using (e.g. TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Standard, TRICARE For Life).  Active Duty Service Members pay nothing out of pocket for prescriptions filled at an MTF pharmacy, the TRICARE Mail Order pharmacy or a TRICARE Retail Network pharmacy.
