WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US LOCKED INTO MEDICARE AND TRICARE LIFE (RETIRED MILITARY OVER 65)?

WE ARE GOING TO LOSE OUR PRIVATE PHARMACIES, AND HAVE TO ORDER FROM THE SUCKY EXPRESS SCRIPTS. WHO LIKES TO BUY THEIR DRUGS FROM CHINA.

THE LAST LINK IS ONE THAT WE WILL PAY FOR WITH 2 YR OF UE AND ANY WELFARE THEY CAN MILK OR A BUY OUT!

TRICARE LIFE Retired Military over 65 just received this noticed 2 weeks ago, takes effect 4/14/2014, why they sent a prelim with out the drug list is WASTEFUL spending in itself!

We learned last week that the new DOD budget is forcing us to use either Base or Express Scripts MANDATED Tricare Life. starts next month. 4/14/14, still have not got the formulary, waste to do 2 send outs. Express Scripts is a sorry excuse of a provider. You never know if your order is right, what generic, what manufacture, or what country. All thrown up on your porch for the local thieves and meth makers to steal. And they do not keep track of your drug side effect list.

YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PHARMACY THANKS TO NEW DOD BUDGET!

I did not include the cover letter.

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.

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.
