Tricare's mail-order pharmacy is convenient and inexpensive way to have prescriptions you regularly take delivered directly to your front door.
You can be up and running with mail-order prescriptions in just 3 easy steps:
Step 1: Register to use Tricare's Mail Order Pharmacy.
Before you can fill a prescription using Tricare's mail order pharmacy you must create an account. You can do this online at the Express Scripts website or by using the Express Scripts app
Step 2: Ask your doctor to submit your prescription to Express Scripts electronically (e-Prescribe).
If you must begin a prescription medication right away, ask your provider to write two separate prescriptions for the same medication:
- A one-month supply for you to fill immediately at a local pharmacy;
- A long-term supply for you to fill through mail-order.
Note: While you wait for your mail-order shipment, begin taking the medication you obtained from the local retail network pharmacy.
Step 3: Allow about 14 days from the day Express Scripts receives your initial prescription to the time your medication arrives at your door.
