If you have Tricare insurance, you might have received a letter recently stating that as of October 24 you will no longer be able to use Melrose Pharmacy.

Unfortunately, ExpressScripts (ESI), the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) for Tricare has cut out most all independent pharmacies from their network. We are extremely saddened by these developments, and we have enjoyed the privilege of serving your health care needs.

This action will take pharmacy choice away from millions of active and retired military and their families. We encourage you to reach out to political representatives to voice your concerns.

- Submit a complaint about your pharmacy of choice being excluded from the TRICARE network by calling 1-877-363-1303 or sending an email to [email protected]. Also mail a hardcopy of your complaint directly to: Defense Health Agency Pharmaceutical Operations Directorate 7700 Arlington Boulevard, Suite 5101 Falls Church, VA 22042-5101
- Contact your U.S. senators and representative. Look up their contact information here: https://bit.ly/fight4rx-legislators
- Share your story on social media, tagging , , and in your posts.
- Submit a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Contact [email protected] for guidance on submitting a letter to the editor.
- Ask us about options to purchase prescriptions off of your insurance. In some cases, the cash price may be lower than your insurance copay.

Whether your regimen includes short-term meds or has multiple maintenance meds, it's important to have periodic Medication Reviews with your trusted pharmacy. Why?

Having a case of the Mondays? We challenge you to find a little time for yourself this week to practice self-care. Even if it is just a few minutes to jam out to your favorite song or sit outside with a cup of coffee, finding an activity that helps you recharge for the week can change your outlook on the week.

Tricare under Express Scripts has decided to offer a contract rate below independent pharmacies’ costs, forcing us pharmacies to not be able to take their contract. It’s sad for our country’s veterans and families, to be forced to change from their trusted pharmacies, to not be allowed to go to the pharmacy of their choice. We offer some of these patients’ compounded medications that these patients will be forced to go without. It’s sad when Express Scripts makes these changes just to steer business to themselves.

Here is a thank you letter from one of my patients after he found out he was being forced away. To add fuel to the fire, Tricare is terminating their existing contract early on 10/21/22 instead of 12/31/22. I’m sorry veterans that this has happened and that there is nothing I can do to continue to be there for you. 😭😭
