TRICARE Changes in Medication Co-Payments

On Jan. 1, some copayments for prescription drugs will increase. If beneficiaries get their prescriptions through the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery or at a retail network pharmacy, they’ll pay anywhere from $2 to $7 more starting Jan. 1. Congress made this change in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.

There’s still no cost to fill prescriptions at military pharmacies. And these cost changes don’t apply to active duty service members (ADSMs). ADSMs still pay nothing for covered drugs at military and network pharmacies. Copayments for survivors of ADSMs are the same as the 2017 rates. Copayments remain the same for medically retired service members and their family members, too.

For the latest TRICARE pharmacy costs, visit TRICARE Costs. To learn more about the pharmacy benefit, visit Pharmacy on the TRICARE website.

Federal Rules Published for TRICARE Retired Reserve

The interim final rule for the Tricare Retired Reserve, or TRR, program has been published. That brings the opportunity for members of the Retired Reserve who are not yet age 60, the so-called "gray-area" retirees, to purchase Tricare Standard coverage one big step closer to a planned program launch expected as early as September 2010.

At that time, instructions about how to qualify for and purchase TRR coverage will become available. If purchased, TRR coverage is expected to go into effect as early as Oct. 1.

For more information visit the TRICARE website.
