Pharmacy Claims

When should I file a claim?

You’ll need to file a claim for reimbursement if:

  • You get your prescription filled at a non-network pharmacy. This is using the point-of-service option. You’ll receive a partial reimbursement after you’ve met the point-of-service deductible.
  • You have other health insuranceHealth insurance you have in addition to TRICARE, such as Medicare or an employer-sponsored health insurance. TRICARE supplements don’t qualify as "other health insurance." with pharmacy benefits.

You must file your claim within one year of the date of service.

How Can I File a Claim?

You may be able to file a claim online or via mail (paper copy).
