Your prescription drug coverage is an essential part of your health care services and we want to ensure you are fully informed about your cost shares and the available tiers.
Understanding Prescription Tiers
The US Family Health Plan organizes prescription drug coverage into four tiers. The tier of a certain drug will determine the price members pay for their prescription. The four tiers include:
| GENERIC(TIER 1) | FORMULARY(TIER 2) | NON-FORMULARY(TIER 3) | NON-COVERED(TIER 4) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemically equivalent versions of brand-name drugs. | Preferred therapy drugs without generic equivalents. | Drugs with the same clinical effects as formulary equivalents but no clinical advantage. | Drugs not covered by TRICARE®. Alternatives are available on the formulary. | |
Tier exceptions can be made in certain situations. To request a tier exception (tiers 1-3 only), please call the Martin’s Point Mail-Order Pharmacy at 1-800-322-0280(EXT. 3879) or contact Member Services at 1-888-674-8734 (TTY: 711).
NOTE: Some prescription drugs require a Prior Authorization before they can be covered under you plan—learn more about the prior authorization process here:
