Speaking of Tricare RE: Walgreens

Did y'all get your letters/phone calls that Walgreens will no longer accept Tricare? It's probably not a huge deal for y'all who are on post but since I've been filling mine there for years, I have to figure out where to do mine now. Frick.

Re: Speaking of Tricare RE: Walgreens

  • I do mine at kroger now. I refuse to so Walmart. I need to go off base for two of my scripts.

  • They have been putting out things for months about it, but I figured they would come to an agreement like they did last time this happened.  

    I used to go to Rite Aid with Tricare so maybe you could try there.

  • I get mine at CVS but that's because my Dad manages one and is staunchly opposed to Walgreens which apparently rubbed off on me Smile

    I'm looking to do mail delivery though, since I think I read somewhere it would be free?? But I could be wrong on that.

    No the 90 day supply thing I believe is free. I wonder how that works since I'm Tricare prime remote now. I may switch to CVS because it's the only other thing we have other than Wal-Mart and Target. Or maybe Target since they give coupons a lot. Hmm...

    Ahh that's it then. Thanks for the clarification. Search online or in the weekly Target and CVS circular. They sometimes offer a coupon for a gift card for transferring your prescription.

    I know I have seen something for Target but never tried CVS. I'd probably go Target just because I do some of my monthly shopping there anyway.

    Target has been my go-to pharmacy for a couple of years. Love them!

    Semi-personal questions: Have they ever had any issues giving you your anxiety meds?

  • Express Scripts is free for the 90 days on generic. :)

    Never. Why? Have they given you a hard time in the past? 

    Just silly things. Like a tech asking me why I needed a 24 hr dosage(clonazepam) plus my anti-depressant(Zoloft) and Xanax. I spoke to her supervisor and he said she was new and apologized. But I also had an issue with them not wanting to fill my Xanax because it hadn't been a month since my first script(which was only a 14 day Rx anyway). Idk, just seemed like they questioned me a ton and it made me kind of uncomfortable. But it was the only place I really knew I could go, KWIM?

  • I'm sure it's all dependent on the worker and the store but I can't help but feel like it was inappropriate. I think I'll look into Target. Thanks! :)

  • Does anyone have experience transferring an Rx from a normal pharmacy off base to the Home Delivery one? I'm interested in getting my birth control delivered because it's too much of a hassle for H to go all the way to the Naval Hospital and we live 30 mins from base so I never make it down there to do it myself, and I always manage to forget my bc rx when it's close to needing a refill, so hope delivery would just make my life so much easier. Was it a fairly easy process?

    It was extremely easy. It's called Express Scripts and you can find them online. They'll contact your doctor for your first prescriptions that you are changing over to them. They don't transfer them from the actual pharmacy. Then, any other prescriptions you'll get you need your doctor to rx them through Express Scripts instead of say your local CVS, Walgreens, etc.

    The people are very nice from my experience so far.

  • I am really irritated about the whole Walgreens thing. My son just got a new prescription so I went to Walmart and they had a 3 hour wait so they sent us to the Walmart 15 minutes away which is fine but I asked them to call ahead and check on the meds and get us in line and they said they could not do that. I drove to the other Walmart and they did not have his meds there. Then I found a Rite-aid and they were able to fill it. It is really annoying because I never had any problems with Walgreens and I have had Target and Walmart tell me on several occasions that they do not have the meds we need. The only option I have left is Rite-aid I guess I will have to deal with it. =( I wish I could do the mail thing but we can't do it with the meds DS needs.

  • I am so behind on this, but WTF? Assbags.

    Not like I have Tricare at the moment anyway, but still.

    From my understanding, Walgreens wasn't even coming close to making a profit because Tricare was only paying them the bare minimum for the meds. I guess the last two years or so they'd been bickering back and forth and always reached an agreement. This year, they didn't.

    Bah. Walgreens has been pissing me off lately anyway. Off to CVS we go (which is where we are supposed to go anyway).
