Pharmacy Organizations Voice Support for TRICARE Pharmacy Choice and Access
NASPA, along with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), and over 34 state pharmacist and pharmacy associations write to express our strong concerns regarding the health and medication safety of our nation’s 9 million TRICARE families under the DHA’s new contract with one, large vertically merged pharmacy benefit manager (PBM).
As you know, the Department of Defense (DoD) awarded a new $4 billion TRICARE contract to one, large vertically merged PBM, effective next year, that is limiting patient choice and access, decreasing access to preventive health care services, wasting taxpayer dollars, and putting the medication safety and health of our military families enrolled in TRICARE in harm’s way.
