Express Scripts administers the prescription plan for most TRICARE beneficiaries unless you are enrolled in a US Family Health Plan. Learn more about some of the services available under your TRICARE pharmacy benefit.

TRICARE Home Delivery

TRICARE Home Delivery offers a convenient and reliable way to receive prescriptions you take on a regular basis. For eligible medications, you can have up to a 90-day supply delivered to your door with free standard shipping. If you have an existing prescription at another pharmacy, you can easily transfer it to home delivery by calling (877) 363-1303, filling out and mailing the home delivery order form, using the free Express Scripts® Pharmacy Mobile App, or by logging in to your online account.

Expanded Specialty Pharmacy Services

Accredo, an accredited specialty pharmacy serving patients with complex and chronic health conditions, provides specialty pharmacy services when you fill an eligible specialty medication at home delivery at no additional cost beyond your TRICARE cost-share.

With Accredo, you can expect:

  • Free, scheduled shipping of all your specialty medications

  • Refill reminders based on your communication preferences – call, text, or email

Vaccines

Your TRICARE pharmacy benefit covers age-appropriate doses of vaccines as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). You and your covered family members can receive covered vaccines for free at participating network retail pharmacies when administered by a pharmacist. If another type of provider gives you a vaccine at a participating pharmacy, you may have to pay out-of-pocket costs. Before you go, be sure to contact your pharmacy to confirm that the vaccine you need is available. Your TRICARE pharmacy benefit offers you and your covered family members multiple options to get vaccinated.

  • Network retail pharmacies. Visit esrx.com/findapharmacy to find network retail pharmacies near you.
  • Military immunization clinic. Find a military hospital or clinic that offers vaccinations.
  • Civilian and TRICARE-authorized providers. Contact your provider or see a TRICARE-authorized provider at a participating network clinic. If you choose one of these options, you may have a copayment or cost-share for the visit, or other services received during the office visit. These costs vary based on your TRICARE health plan.
