I’m super glad hubby is retired SCPO, base hopping got old fast.
DOD MANDATE 4/14/2014 on TRICARE LIFE, this is going to be the next big scandal. This company was already scandal plagued and should have never been awarded this Multi Billion$$ contract for all daily med scripts. We try to use base dispensary which was the other choice, and then they went out an bought scandal plagued Medco.
There is a money trail there some where, I just don’t know where to look. very cumbersome process. $2 K in meds are shoved UN PHOTO ID SIGNED for in our HOT, HUMID mail box now, instead of going to a private pharmacy. That makes dangerous drugs available to kids, teens, meth makers and just plain drug thieves. I had to have PHOT ID TO GE A LIBRARY CARD. I’ve chewed out my Fed Rep over this. Simple DOD Order to and USPS would fix this pronto.
BTW you have NO guarantee a DAW script will be DAW. And ES uses the cheapest crap generic they can purchase and will bounce those around too. Some of us are drug sensitive or need name brand because generics ARE NOT equal to some drugs.
BE sure to read the complaints it will save you some grief in the long run.

My wife is now under Medicare and has Tricare for Life. In any bill that medicare did not pay the entire amount, I have yet to see stinking TLife pay a dime of it. And now they are saying that they will start charging us for Life. WHY? They are not paying a dime of any bills. Thankfully thus far no one has asked us to pay what Medicare did not pay for and TLife failed, refused, didn’t pay. I am nearing Medicare and Tlife, so Don’t know what that is going to mean when stinking Life starts charging us for nothing. I also use Exp Scrips for the two meds that we get on a yearly schedule. They send 90 days at a time and refill three times over the year. And the price for the 90 days seems higher than what I was paying at CVS for the same 90 days before starting using Scrips. But got a letter telling us that we had to start using scrips because they would charge me more for using CVS. Tells me this is all a stinking Dimocrat and company scam.
