Home Delivery

TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery is generally the least expensive way to fill prescriptions after military pharmacies. It’s recommended for prescriptions you take regularly.

Home delivery is safe and easy to use. You can:

  • Get up to a 90-day supply of most covered drugs.
  • Request refills online, by phone, or by mail.

Express Scripts sends your medication to you with free standard shipping. You’ll receive most prescriptions filled through home delivery in less than a week.

Availability

U.S. and U.S. Territories

TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery will ship to any address in the U.S. or U.S. territories. This includes APO/FPO addresses.

All Other Overseas Areas

  • You must use your APO/FPO address.
    • Use the DPO address if you’re assigned to an embassy and don’t have an APO/FPO address.
    • You can’t use private foreign addresses.
  • Medications requiring refrigerated packaging or that have pressurized dispensing devices won’t be shipped to APO/FPO/DPO addresses.
  • Home delivery isn’t available in Germany, Norway, and Saudi Arabia.
  • If you don’t qualify for home delivery, you’ll need to get your medication from a retail pharmacy and submit a medical claim with the overseas contractor for reimbursement.

Note: Home delivery to APO/FPO/DPO addresses is subject to local customs laws. Prescription drugs sent to these addresses may be seized by customs authorities. If your prescription drugs are seized, call Express Scripts at 877-363-1303. Or, look up your local Express Scripts toll-free number to find out other ways to get your prescription filled.

Other Health Insurance

You can’t use TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery when you have other health insurance, unless:

  • Your health insurance doesn’t include pharmacy benefits,
  • The drug you need isn’t covered by your other plan, or
  • You’ve met the other plan’s benefit cap.

If you’ve met any of these requirements, you can fill your prescription through home delivery. You’ll need to send proof from your other plan that your prescription isn’t covered or you’ve met the benefit cap.

Phone You can call Express Scripts at 877-363-1303 (TDD/TTY: 877-540-6261)
Mail

Download the home delivery order form and mail it to the address on the form. Also include:

  • Your written prescription. Clearly write your name, sponsor ID number, and birthdate on the back of the prescription.
  • Your prescription copayment

After you register online or by phone, your provider will need to send your prescriptions to Express Scripts to be filled. Ask your provider to:

  • E-prescribe your prescription drugs. Electronic prescriptions are less likely to have missing or unreadable items.
  • Write the prescription for the maximum supply allowed. This is 90 days for most drugs.

Sometimes your prescription can’t be filled because Express Scripts needs clarification. In these cases, Express Scripts will contact you or your provider.

  • If Express Scripts calls you, call them back within two business days. Customer service staff is available 24/7.
  • If you don’t call back within two business days, Express Scripts will send you a letter explaining why the prescription wasn’t filled.
