| A new Tricare Retail Pharmacy (TRRx) contract took effect June 1 for Tricare beneficiaries located in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. Beneficiaries must be eligible and enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). The contract centralized pharmacy claims processing, so travelers using a Tricare retail network pharmacy outside their Tricare region who need to fill a prescription are no longer required to pay the full prescription price, or file a Tricare claim to get reimbursed. Pharmacy co-payments are the same in every location where the TRRx is available. Tricare claim forms can be downloaded from the Express Scripts Web site at http://www.express-scripts.com/TRICARE or the Tricare Web site at http://www.tricare.osd.mil/claims. Claims should be mailed to: Express Scripts, P. O. Box 66518, St. Louis, Mo., 63166-6518. | |
