TRICARE LIFE Retired Military over 65 just received this noticed 5 weeks ago, takes effect 4/14/2014!

DOD MANDATE 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. starts this month. 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 thrown up on your porch for the local thieves and meth makers to steal. Or Neighborhood kids to access.

YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PHARMACY THANKS TO NEW DOD BUDGET MANDATE!

This is a letter it went to ALL drug stores too. ALL MAINTENANCE DRUGS are drugs you take daily! NO WAY AROUND IT, SOME DRUGS, YOU TAKE TO TREAT A CONDITION BUT JUST USE AS NEEDED COME UNDER THIS, JUST BE WARNED ES IS NOT THE BEST ROUTE TO GO. READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO ALLOW THEM ACCESS TO YOUR BANK OR CREDIT CARD INFO.

BECAUSE OF FED MAIL LAWS NARCOTICS CAN’T BE MAILED. I’d suggest Base use if at all possible. COUNT your pills too. Make SURE YOUR DAW is DAW, ES over rides doctor’s orders. Even if you use base dispensary CHECK before accepting, IF you must have a DAW drug.

1 Transfer your medication from a retail pharmacy to safe, 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.

Starting Oct. 1, the Pentagon plans to reduce Tricare Prime service areas to within a 40-mile radius of active or former military installations, forcing 173,000 retirees and their family members to switch to Tricare Standard or seek a waiver if they live within 100 miles of an existing network.

The decision will affect retirees and their dependents in Prime, and those on Tricare Young Adult Prime. That totals 98,771 people in the Tricare South

$251,000: Taxpayer Cost for FLOTUS, Daughters Side Trips in Dublin, and $3,300-Per Night Hotel Room (30) RMS)
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/251000-taxpayer-cost-flotus-daughters-side-trips-dublin-and-3300

A large portion of that expense, $55,004.85, was for 30 rooms at the Shelbourne Dublin hotel, which included the $3,300-per-night Princess Grace Suite, where the first lady stayed. An additional $70,855.44 was for hotel rooms at the Westbury Hotel in Dublin.

The entire cost for Michelle Obama and her daughters, including flight and security expenses, is estimated at around $5 million, said Judicial Watch, while the total costs that include the president’s official meeting, were $7,921,636.66.

How can Americans be unfamiliar with corpse-men?

The people that support Commies like her and her Husband “loathe” (thank you Bill Clinton) the Military.

Nothing the Obama’s say has any meaning. Just words for the Masses to lick up like a Kitten going after a bowl of Milk.

“All this for a damn Flag” was a moment of clarity. Too bad Moochelle’s “Face in a crowd” moment wasn’t properly promoted my the sycophant Media.

Oh no, they dig up an old Clive Bundy “racial” comment, but no expose on the Rulers. The Ministry of Propaganda exists.

I see nothing to fault in that statement. Maybe her eyes have been opened about the sacrifices soldiers and their families make - if so, good for her.

Sorry, I don't give them the benefit of the doubt anymore. Over 6 plus years of destroying our military in every way they can get away with, it is just another lie.

MOOCH-elle, the Worst Lady, hates the military, hates you and hates your family. I don’t give her the “benefit of doubt”...I would only give her a prison cell for her crimes against Free America. She is a degenerate dishonest grifter.
