Now: Web-based Pharmacy Search Tool

Tricare’s new pharmacy Formulary Search Tool allows beneficiaries to find medication-specific information using either a drug name or a medical condition. The FST also shows drug availability through the Tricare Mail Order or Retail Pharmacy programs, and lists medications that are on the Basic Core Formulary. It includes copayment information for prescription drugs, including injectable medications. It also displays generic equivalents for brand-name medications, and quantity limits or prior authorization requirements. In addition, visitors to the site can view and print prior authorization criteria and forms. Furthermore, they can learn about FDA approved drug uses, side effects and potential interactions with other medications. For more information on the Tricare Pharmacy Program, visit the Tricare Pharmacy home page at www.tricare.osd.mil/pharmacy. The search tool is accessible directly at www.tricareformularysearch.org.
