Which is nice because you'll need that cash to to pay for your chemo drugs.
Ah... so we’ve sacrificed the best healthcare system in the world for
consequence-free fornication.
And we can give you exactly one reason NOT to do this ...
36% of people have less than $1,000 in savings ..... makes paying those ‘not covered under Obamacare’ items, racking up fuel costs driving miles and miles to find a doctor who will see you, and the $2,500 to $10,000 deductibles a breeze! [/s]
Not all will, we can’t. We are already covered Medicare/Tricare Life, (retired Military over 65)
TENNESSEANS REMEMBER LAMAR VOTED FOR THIS CRAP! HE PROMISED 2 TERMS AND OUT!
ALERT YOU LOSE YOUR PHARMACY EFFECTIVE 4/14/14
All I see is a nightmare. ES cannot be trusted to get the RIGHT manufacture, and some of mine have to be from that manufacture even if it is a generic. Different Manufacturer’s different fillers. Like with the NORCO, not only did it make me sick it did NOT WORK. My water pill is the same way. The green/yellow Mylan brand works, but the white capsule or green tablet do not work.
As a very drug sensitive person, I WANT A WAIVER! And should be able to get one. Or get samples to try first as I’ve reacted to 1 pill right in front of the nurse as she started to roll her drug cart out. And it never got put in my charts!
This is couched in such language that it is hard to under stand. This is a Prelim letter, we don’t even know at this time which drugs are going to be on the list. Waste of money to not send out the full thing.
These are the option we are going to be given in a “new” SCREW U Pilot program from Tricare.
1 Transfer your medication from a retail pharmacy to save , convenient Tricare Home Delivery and pay less out of pocket! A typical cost for a 90 day retail supply is $51 but only $13 for Home Delivery.
2 Ask your doctor about using a low cost generic that is not among the medications included in the Pilot Generics can still be filled at retail for $5
3 Transfer maintenance medications under the Pilot from retail pharmacy to a military pharmacy. Call your local military pharmacy to see if they have you medication
4 Continue to get you selected maintenance medications at a retail and pay 100% of the cost of the medication starting with your third refill.
If you refill your selected maintenance medication’s at a retail pharmacy after March 14, 2014 you’ll get letters from the Tricare Pharmacy contractor Express Scripts, Inc about switching to Home Delivery. Remember, starting with your third fill you will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the medications if you chose to continue to obtain them at a retail pharmacy.
If you have other health insurance with a prescription benefit, you do not fall under the Pilot. There will also be a process to obtain waivers on a case by case basis, due to personal need or hardship, emergency or other special circumstaces-0 such as living in a nursing home. After participating in the Pilot for 1 year you may opt out.
