FALLS CHURCH, Va. - Flooding continues to be a major problem for the
Midwest, and TRICARE is working to help affected beneficiaries with their
healthcare needs.
Consistent with TRICARE practices in the face of natural disasters, Express
Scripts, Inc. (ESI), the TRICARE pharmacy contractor, has been authorized to
add provisions for early refill of medications for TRICARE beneficiaries and
families in seven states affected by flooding.
Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri have been added to the previously approved
states of Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana.
TRICARE officials remind beneficiaries that early refills are only
authorized for beneficiaries who specifically indicate they are impacted by
flooding. Those beneficiaries may take their prescription bottle to any
TRICARE retail network pharmacy. Contact Express Scripts at 1-866-363-8779
to find the nearest network pharmacy. If possible, beneficiaries displaced
without their prescription bottle should visit the pharmacy where the
prescription was filled. |

He found himself in a strange place around a number of people he could not understand. Despite all the chaos, Navy Cmdr. Pamela Harvey, who was serving in Iraq as an emergency room physician at the time, knew that this man’s life laid in her hands. Her patient, an older Iraqi civilian, probably never imagined he would end up where he did Feb. 24, 2007. He had only recently left a religious service when a suicide truck bomb exploded near the mosque in Al Habbiniyah, Iraq, severely injuring himself and a number of Iraqi civilians. |
