This is insane!
I need to buy stock in a Fiddle Factory. All of Congress & the Press are fiddling while America burns.
It is insane. When the Millington, TN Naval Base went from a training base to BUPERS paper pushers for the Navy, the hospital was closed, and the medical care was all off base. But the person needing care did not need an escort.
The air strip was sold to the city of Millington. But the Military still has use of it.
Now thanks to a 4/14/14 DOD MANDATE all Tricare Life Ret. over 65 must use Base or Express Scripts for all daily meds. It is hard enough to find a doctor to take Medicare now, but when you are also Tricare Life it is getting even harder. SLOW or LOW reimbursement.
Tricare Life (Ret, Military over 65)
DOD MANDATE 4/14/2014
For Daily Medicines
is forcing us to use either Base whose drugs are limited by size of base and is not wheel chair or handicap friendly or Express Scripts MANDATED Tricare Life. 4/14/14. Express Scripts is a sorry excuse of a provider. You never know if your order is right, what generic, what manufacture, or what country. All stuffed into your mail box UN PHOTO ID SIGNED FOR making them available to thieves and meth makers to steal. Or Neighborhood kids to access. It will take an act of congress to fix this issue. The meds come in a plastic sealed bag. Meds are temp and humidity sensitive. Every 3 Months there is Retail $3K worth of meds shoved in my unprotected mail box. Systems are all automated.
Script fills for base can be up to 24 hrs. Refills for the Base come out of Pensacola, FL 5 day wait time. ES is 3 weeks to fill first, 2 weeks to do refills.
