ABOUT YOUR SPECIAL REFILLS FOR CONTOLLED OR COMPOUNDED SUBSTANCE
Beginning 1 March 2003, you will need to get a new prescription and send it to Express Scripts if either of the following applies:
- You are currently taking a Controlled Substance.
- You are currently taking a Compounded Drug.
Retirees and their dependents pay just $3 co-payment per prescription of a generic and $9 co-payment for a non-generic for up to a 90-day supply of medication.
Helpful Tips for using the TMOP
Ask your physician or other prescriber if a 90-day supply of medication is appropriate for you. If so, ask him/her to write the prescription for a 90-day supply, with appropriate refills.
IF YOU HAVE OTHER HEALTH INSURANCE (OHI) with a Pharmacy Benefit, you CAN NOT participate in this program except with exception noted below
- ***** You can access TSRx when your OHI benefits are exhausted or if the medication is not carried on the OHI formulary (list of available medications.)
- If an eligible beneficiary has a pharmacy benefit under some OHI (or “double coverage” as it is sometimes called), you must use up the other insurance’s pharmacy benefit before you may use the TRICARE prescription benefit in either retail pharmacies or the mail order program.
- Medicare HMOs, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), and any Medigap supplemental insurance plans that include a pharmacy benefit, fall into this category.
- Under the double coverage rules, the other insurance is the primary payer, and TRICARE is the secondary payer. This isn’t a new rule. The law has stated for some time that TRICARE must be second payer to other insurance coverage.
- This doesn’t just apply to pharmacy benefits, but to medical or surgical services, as well.
