Check your prescription coverage and costs online

Are you wondering about your prescription drug coverage and how much your prescription will cost? Whether you pick up your prescriptions at an in-network retail pharmacy or have them delivered, you can find and compare prices and medication details for prescription drugs covered by your TRICARE pharmacy benefit online through Check Coverage.

Check Coverage shows your cost for both a 30-or 90-day supply at in-network retail pharmacies and up to a 90-day supply at TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery so you can easily compare your options. Check Coverage is available through your Express Scripts online or Express Scripts® Pharmacy mobile app account and contains information specific to your active prescriptions.

If you are taking generic medication, keep in mind that obtaining it from a local in-network retail pharmacy may offer additional cost savings.

To access Check Coverage, log in to your Express Scripts account1. If you do not already have an online account, register today or download the free Express Scripts® Pharmacy mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Once logged in, select Check Coverage from the home page (as shown in Figure 1) or navigate to Prescriptions in the top menu bar and select Check Coverage (Figure 2). If using the mobile app, navigate to the More menu and select Check Coverage.
