On Jan. 1, some copayments for prescription drugs will increase. If beneficiaries get their prescriptions through the TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery or at a retail network pharmacy, they’ll pay anywhere from $2 to $7 more starting Jan. 1. Congress made this change in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
There’s still no cost to fill prescriptions at military pharmacies. And these cost changes don’t apply to active duty service members (ADSMs). ADSMs still pay nothing for covered drugs at military and network pharmacies. Copayments for survivors of ADSMs are the same as the 2017 rates. Copayments remain the same for medically retired service members and their family members, too.

To help you plan for 2020, below is a list of the days you should expect to receive your retired or annuitant pay. Retired and annuitant pay is due on the first of the month. However, if the first falls on a weekend or holiday, retirees get paid on last business day of the prior month and annuitants get paid on the first business day of month.

The interim final rule for the Tricare Retired Reserve, or TRR, program has been published. That brings the opportunity for members of the Retired Reserve who are not yet age 60, the so-called "gray-area" retirees, to purchase Tricare Standard coverage one big step closer to a planned program launch expected as early as September 2010.
At that time, instructions about how to qualify for and purchase TRR coverage will become available. If purchased, TRR coverage is expected to go into effect as early as Oct. 1.
