TRICARE RX Co-Pay Increase

On February 1, 2013, many TRICARE beneficiaries saw their out-of-pocket prescription costs go up. The co-pay increases target brand-name formulary and non-formulary medications, while the co-pays for generic medications for both mail order and network pharmacies remain unchanged. In addition, those who get their meds at their local military treatment facility will continue to get their medications with no co-pay. Learn more about the new TRICARE Rx Co-pays.http://militaryadvantage.military.com/2013/01/tricare-rx-fees-increase-this-friday/
