TRICARE beneficiaries who purchase certain prescription drugs at retail pharmacies are being encouraged to "try OTC for free" as part of a two-year test. The OTC test encourages beneficiaries currently taking a prescription medication used to treat gastrointestinal disorders to substitute an over-the-counter (OTC) version, which enables beneficiaries to save money on copays. Other medications being considered for the test in the near future include topical anti-fungals and non-sedating antihistamines. For more information on the TRICARE Retail Pharmacy Program by calling Express Scripts, Inc. at 1-866-DoD-TRRx (1-866-363-8779).
