TRICARE Pharmacy Options Changing?

Despite questions about whether the Walgreens pharmacy chain will continue as a TRICARE provider, beneficiaries will have several options for filling prescriptions, according to the DoD. The retail pharmacy contract between Express Scripts Inc., or ESI, and the Walgreens pharmacy chain is set to expire on Dec. 31.
If the contract is not renewed, Walgreens will no longer be a pharmacy network provider, but beneficiaries will be able to find a nearby network pharmacy using the "find a pharmacy" feature at the ESI website, www.express-scripts.com/tricare. For more details, see this Military.com Benefits article.
