My Mom has Tricare for Life. Her copays jumped up by ten dollars a script a few months ago..November, IIRC..So, it’s going to jump more?
Set her up for mail order/express scripts. The new prices became effective in October 2011 with generics rising from $3 to $5, brands from $9 to $12, and non-formulary from 22 to 25 at retail outlets. If you use mail order,the generics are free until 2016 and the copays are lower on brand names. Per 90 days, for brand name formulary drugs is $9 by mail order versus $36 at the local pharmacy.
