What's up with congress trying to cut out the use of civilian pharmacies for active duty and retirees? Why should we be limited to dealing with military pharmacies or mail order? This regarding maintenance meds, but what's next?

I have heard that higher deductibles and co-pays are also in the works. This is our first year with Tri-Care as retirees and so far we have been very pleased with it. I also prefer local pharmacies, but you do realize that it costs 3 x as much as when you use mail order. I have been considering giving mail order a try in order to save a few more $$.

I haven't heard this but what can you expect with all the previous cut backs? Tricare is still a better insurance than most on the civilian market. Hopefully, this will not pass congress and our military and veterans will be able to keep the remanents of a decent healthcare package.

They are basically doing what every other Insurance company does. They have a set criteria. Blue cross/Blue shield which we use have the same limitations. We have a select list of pharmacies we can get our medications from, and if it is a maintains drug we have to use mail order.

i might say they're married. it'd be impossible to affix the youngsters devoid of the two offering information (a delivery certificates or courtroom order) naming him because of the fact the daddy or without a marriage certificates. I won't say it may no longer take place, although this is very no longer likely. whilst they have been married, the protection stress member can join them in Tricare if he chooses to..it would not be computerized because it'd be for a baby the two one in each of them had...and he ought to disenroll them in the event that they divorce. i might think of this is time for a communication with the ex.

I wish I could GET my maintenence meds at a military pharmacy.
Where I live it just doesn't happen. Then there will be weeks the pharmacist is gone and they won't fill paper prescriptions - which I go to the dinky clinic and that is ALL they do.
