CVS pharmacies will leave the Tricare network

Effective Dec. 1, 2016, CVS pharmacies will leave the Tricare network.

What this means to you: if you choose to fill a prescription at CVS after this date, you will have to pay the full cost of the medication upfront, and file for partial reimbursement.

However, you do have other options.

1) Your Military Treatment Facility (MTF). The 5th Medical Group has most medications in stock and available to beneficiaries at no cost. Our hours are M-F 0730-1630, excluding Federal Holidays, Global Strike Command Family Days and Training Days. For questions, please call 723-5293.

2) Mail Order. While the Tricare Home Delivery program does sometimes require a co-pay, the cost is small compared to retail and provides a 90-day supply (generic: $0, Brand Name: $20, and Non-formulary: $49). Go here for more information: http://www.tricare.mil/CoveredServices/Pharmacy/FillPrescriptions/HomeDelivery

3) Other retail pharmacies. There are ten other pharmacies within the Tricare network, within a 60-mile radius of Minot. You will pay a co-pay for a 30-day supply (generic: $10, Brand name: $24, and Non-formulary: $50). Those pharmacies are:
