Using Home Delivery with Other Health Insurance (OHI)
In addition to TRICARE, many beneficiaries have additional insurance coverage, often through their employer, Medicare Part D, or another private insurance program. If you have OHI with a prescription plan, you’re not eligible to use home delivery unless one of the following applies to you:
- Your OHI does not cover pharmacy benefits.
- Your medication is not covered by your OHI.
- You’ve met your OHI’s benefit cap (i.e., you have met your benefit’s maximum coverage limit).
- 1If you have an APO/FPO address or are assigned to a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Beneficiaries residing in Germany must use a military pharmacy or host nation pharmacy.
