Tricare beneficiaries with other health insurance no longer have to file paper claims for prescriptions filled at most retail pharmacies. Retail pharmacists can immediately submit electronic claims to Tricare when beneficiaries purchase medications. Beneficiaries may still submit paper claims from pharmacies that do not yet participate in this new system. Previously, Tricare paid claims for beneficiaries with other health insurance through a manual process. Tricare required the beneficiary to mail a claim form and a receipt to Express Scripts Inc., the pharmacy contractor. The new process allows a pharmacy to receive Tricare’s payment before requesting a co-payment from the beneficiary. In many instances, the beneficiary can leave the pharmacy with less out-of-pocket expenses and no requirement to file a claim.
