Tricare & Fills

Do you know if tricare covers fills? Is there a copay? Do you have to qualify for each fill like you did for the surgery? I haven't had my appointment w/the doc yet but wondered if anybody else had any experience. Thanks :0)

I have Tricare and they have paid each of my post-op visits just like they would any office visit claim, including the visits when I had a fill.

If you have questions, it's always good to call your Tricare contractor directly and they will give you the information you need. I don't know where you are from but I live in the West so Triwest is my Tricare contractor.

Good Luck.

I am sure it is like everything else here, in it depends on the doctor. My understanding with mine, (Tricare) is that they are covered with just a co-payment (12). I am hoping that this is correct as some of the posts on here say that the fills are expensive. He explained it was part of his plan at this time and I would be grandfathered into it in case it did change in the future

If you are active duty prime, there will be no copay...prime retired has a $12 copay.

Thanks for posting this question as well as to those who answered. I'm going for my 4th fill next week but it will be the first that will be billed to Tricare as the first 3 months after surgery are covered by the surgeons office. I was concerned I'd have to pay something. I haven't paid anything up to now.

Thank you Tricare!
