Save money with TRICARE mail order pharmacy Published March 26, 2010 By Tyler Patterson TriWest Healthcare Alliance PHOENIX -- Some say stress can make you sick and having too much to do certainly contributes to stress. If your to-do list overfloweth, consider saving yourself some time and some of your hard-earned cash by filling your prescriptions through TMOP, the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy. Using the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy is easy, but how to get started depends on whether you're submitting a new or a refill prescription. To order a new prescription through TMOP, do one of the following: · Have your doctor call Express Scripts toll-free at (877) 283-3858 · Have your doctor fax your order form and your written prescription to Express Scripts at (877) 895-1900 · Complete an Order Form (print a blank Order Form at www.express-scripts.com/TRICARE) and mail the completed form and your written prescription to: Express Scripts, Inc PO Box 52150 Phoenix, AZ 85072 To refill a prescription you already receive through TMOP, do one of the following: · Order your refill online at http://www.express-scripts.com/members/TRICARE/ · Order your refill by phone by calling the toll-free number on your prescription bottle · Complete and mail back the refill form that came with your current prescription TMOP can fill and deliver prescriptions anywhere in the United States and its territories, including APO/FPO addresses. The prescription is sent to the address of your choice. It could be your office, your home, or anywhere. Not only is the service convenient, it will save you money. Using TMOP, you can order a 90-day supply of your medication and save up to 66 percent. Although the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy is a cost-savings over retail, remember that filling prescriptions at a local military clinic pharmacy remains the least expensive option for TRICARE beneficiaries. Additionally, refrigerated medications cannot be ordered through TMOP. TriWest does not administer the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy program; it is administered by Express Scripts, Inc.
