If you don't live near a base to get prescriptions free, here are some hints to save money.
1. Local pharmacies will fill prescriptions for one month only ($9), but the Mail Order Pharmacy will send you a three months supply for the same amount ($9). Save $18.
2. If the three month period has one or two months with 31 days, do NOT have the physician write the prescription for 91 or 92 days. Make it for only 90 days. The same is true if the prescription is written for 31 days instead of 30. The extra day(s) over 30 or 90 will kick in an additional month and the cost will double.
3. If you like the local pharmacy because you can get your prescription history and personal information online, you can do exactly the same thing with the National Mail Order Pharmacy. You can even pay and order online.
4. If you like buying non-prescription items, you can also do that with the Mail Order Pharmacy. They have a deal with CVS.
5. Check it out. Register on the home page and you're in like Flynn.Page Title Merck Medco
6. You can also call and ask for postage free envelopes if you prefer to use the mail
1-800-628-8881.
If you haven't used the Mail Order Pharmacy yet, you'll need the prescription number of one you bought at a local pharmacy. After you click on Register, the next question asks if you are a Plan Member - you are by virtue of Tricare.
Original prescriptions have to be mailed in. Refills can be ordered online or by phone.
Have your physician write the prescription for 90 days with 3 refills to cover a year.

Thank you. The hardest part was getting the doctor to write the 2nd prescription correctly.
Otherwise quick, easy, and no " we are out of your **** can you wait a few days?"

Here's the web site for the Mail Order Pharmacy. Check it out.

Registered, got prescriptions set up and they arrived less than a week later.

Went online, logged in, ordered refills and they arrived less than a week later.

Went online, logged in, ordered one refill because the other was not on the page for automatic order, sent an email requsting information, got reply in less than 24 hours saying prescription was added to order and placed in the right page. Got the full order in less than a week.

We highly recommend.
