TRICARE Pharmacy Copayment Increases

FORT LEE, Va. — Starting on 1 January of 2022, copayments will increase for those using the TRICARE mail order program or utilizing the retail network. These costs changes won’t affect all beneficiaries. If you’re an active duty service member (ADSM), you’ll still pay nothing for your covered drugs at military pharmacies, retail network pharmacies, and through home delivery. Copayments for survivors of ADSMs will remain the same. Medically retired service members and their family members also won’t see a change in their copayments next year.

Back to School

Ruby R. Tan MD — Grocery aisles are starting to show school lists and supplies, now with extra bins for hand sanitizers and (designer) masks. Health clinics hustle for the completion of State Pre-participation Sport and School Physical Forms, now with a question #43: “Have you ever had a COVID-19 diagnosis?” These changes foretell uncustomary school times ahead and remind us of ways to keep students and faculty healthy.
