Tricare introduces new web-based pharmacy search tool

Tricare has announced the new pharmacy Formulary Search Tool, which allows beneficiaries to find medication-specific information using either a drug name or a medical condition. The Formulary Search Tool can be accessed through the Tricare Pharmacy Web site.


The Formulary Search Tool can be used to:

Check availability of specific medications through the Tricare Mail Order or Retail Pharmacy programs.

Discover which medications are on the Basic Core Formulary. These medications must be made available at all full service military pharmacies.

Find copayment information for prescription medications, including injectable medications.

Learn about generic equivalents for brand-name medications, quantity limits or prior authorization requirements.
View and print prior authorization criteria and forms.

Learn about FDA approved drug uses, side effects and potential interactions with other medications.

Beneficiaries should consult their provider, pharmacist, or other health care professional for specific questions regarding their medications.

For more information on the Tricare Pharmacy Program and to access the Formulary Search Tool, visit the Tricare Pharmacy home page, http://www.tricare.osd.mil/pharmacy. The search tool is accessible directly at http://www.tricareformularysearch.org.
