Easily Manage TRICARE Prescriptions With the Express Scripts Pharmacy Mobile App

By TRICARE Communications

Looking for a convenient way to keep track of your medications? Want to see the status of your prescriptions before you head to the pharmacy? Download the free Express Scripts Pharmacy mobile app to securely manage your medications anytime, anywhere. Express Scripts is the TRICARE Pharmacy Program contractor that administers your pharmacy benefit.

“The mobile app is an easy way to stay on top of your prescriptions, especially when you use TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery,” said U.S. Public Health Service Cmdr. Teisha Robertson, deputy chief of the Pharmacy Benefit Integration Branch at the Defense Health Agency. “It helps you keep track of your medications, request refills, and make payments, at your convenience, no matter where you are.”

To get started, download the app for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Then log in using your TRICARE Express Scripts username and password. If you don’t have an account, you can register for one.

Once logged in, you can:

  • Order medications. You can see all your prescriptions in one place. You can choose to fill your prescriptions through TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery. Prescriptions ordered via home delivery will be delivered right to your door. You can even set up shipments to a temporary address during deployment, relocation, or vacation. TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery will ship to any address in the U.S. or U.S. territories, including APO/FPO addresses. To learn more about home delivery, including costs and any applicable shipping restrictions, visit TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery.
  • Track home delivery orders. You’ll get real-time updates when Express Scripts processes, ships, and delivers your order. To view the status of your order online, log in to your account. Go to “Prescriptions,” and then “Order History.” Check “Recent Order Status” to track your order.
  • Request refills. Review and approve prescriptions that are ready to refill through TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery.
  • Set up dose reminders. Stay on track with automated alerts reminding you when it’s time to take your medications. This will help you stick to your routine and avoid missing any doses.
  • Make payments. You can easily pay for prescriptions online or set up automatic payments for home delivery orders. As described in the TRICARE Costs and Fees Fact Sheet, active duty service members have a $0 copayment for up to a 90-day supply of medication if they use a military pharmacy, TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery, or a retail network pharmacy.
