He needed a positive Photo OPP and our Military is the best choice.
ATTENTION ALL MILITARY ON TRICARE ESPECIALLY TRICARE LIFE AS OF 4/14/14 YOU WILL BE FORCED TO GET YOUR MEDS FROM A BASE OR EXPRESS SCRIPTS. YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR PHARMACY!
START BOMBARDING YOU CONGRESS CRITTER FOR WAIVERS OF HARDSHIP!
I HAVE HAD MY PHARMACY WHERE I AM TREATED AS A FAMILY MEMBER FOR 30 YRS, AND THEIR PRICES ARE BETTER THAN WAL-MARTS. IT WILL JUST HELP PUT FAMILY OWNED PHARMACIES OUT OF BUSINESS, MORE PEOPLE OUT OF WORK!
Neither one is a good deal for seniors. It takes 1.5 hrs if you are in a wheel chair there is no room for you to get in, to get your scripts filled at the Naval base, they carry very few name brands, and many seniors are on them, generics are questionable origin or manufacture. NO waivers for drug sensitive people. Express Scripts is the cheapest generics, manufacture or country of origin is unkown, and they are tossed up on your porch for any thief to steal, they do not have to be signed for.
Tennesseans NOTE Lamar RINO voted for shafting you on this crap, while not willing to give up a dime of his or the other 500+ members of congress PLATINUM healthcare and their unmarried kids until age 26!
All I see is a nightmare. ES cannot be trusted to get the RIGHT manufacture, and some of mine have to be from that manufacture even if it is a generic. Different Manufacturer’s different fillers. Like with the NORCO, not only did it make me sick it did NOT WORK. My water pill is the same way. The green/yellow Mylan brand works, but the white capsule or green tablet do not work. I have to have name brand Synthroid, side effects of generics are horrible.
As a very drug sensitive person, I WANT A WAIVER! And should be able to get one. Or get samples to try first as I’ve reacted to 1 pill right in front of the nurse as she started to roll her drug cart out. And it never got put in my charts!
This is couched in such language that it is hard to under stand. This is a Prelim letter, we don’t even know at this time which drugs are going to be on the list. Waste of money to not send out the full thing.
These are the option we are going to be given in a “new” SCREW U Pilot program from Tricare.
1 Transfer your medication from a retail pharmacy to save , convenient Tricare Home Delivery and pay less out of pocket! A typical cost for a 90 day retail supply is $51 but only $13 for Home Delivery.
2 Ask your doctor about using a low cost generic that is not among the medications included in the Pilot Generics can still be filled at retail for $5
3 Transfer maintenance medications under the Pilot from retail pharmacy to a military pharmacy. Call your local military pharmacy to see if they have you medication
4 Continue to get you selected maintenance medications at a retail and pay 100% of the cost of the medication starting with your third refill.
If you refill your selected maintenance medication’s at a retail pharmacy after March 14, 2014 you’ll get letters from the Tricare Pharmacy contractor Express Scripts, Inc about switching to Home Delivery. Remember, starting with your third fill you will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the medications if you chose to continue to obtain them at a retail pharmacy.
If you have other health insurance with a prescription benefit, you do not fall under the Pilot. There will also be a process to obtain waivers on a case by case basis, due to personal need or hardship, emergency or other special circumstaces-0 such as living in a nursing home. After participating in the Pilot for 1 year you may opt out.

NORCO is the replacement for Lore Tabs, less Tylenol, supposed to be the same except that. But comes from a different manufacture, thus different fillers.
I’ve already had a 1 long battle with Express Scripts to get my Name Brand Synthroid covered, I am allergice to the generic. NOT ALL GENERICS ARE THE SAME.
My drug reaction sheet is a full type written sheet long at 12 pica, fixing to add another one Linzess to the list. New on the market, supposed to treat IBS. sure if you like to spend your day in ab pain and on the toilet and dizzy and pukey all day. http://www.healthboards.com/boards/irritable-bowel-syndrome-ibs/976870-ibs-linzess.html#post5274868
BTW I do not have IBS, I have a POPPED Lumbar disc which is part of a compression fracture and they will NOT repair it. PHYSIO CAUSED! Iditot Gastro cannot understand that factoid, all he latches onto is constipation makes the pain worse. There was no pain in my colon or down my legs before the PHYSIO popped the disc! I heard it felt the sting which is a Annular tear. My 3rd according to the new MRI.OP is DRUG INDUCED, only long running med I have is Synthroid, 29 yrs.
