The Tricare Uniform Formulary final rule was published April 1, 2004. Effective May 3, the rule will allocate prescription drugs to one of three cost-share tiers: generic; formulary (brand-name); or non-formulary. Beneficiaries who use the Tricare Mail Order Pharmacy will pay $3 for up to a 90-day prescription of a generic medication, $9 for up to a 90-day supply of a brand-name medication, and $22 for up to a 90-day supply of a non-formulary drug. Beneficiaries using a retail network pharmacy will pay $3 for up to a 30-day prescription of a generic medication, $9 for a 30-day supply of a brand-name formulary drug, and $22 for up to a 30-day supply of a non-formulary medication.
