What's New

New TRICARE Formulary Search Tool



Visit the new TRICARE Formulary Search Tool for details about medications on TRICARE's Uniform Formulary. The new tool contains features that will be pertinent to pharmacists in the MTFs and beneficiary focused for ease of use. There is now a Basic Core Formulary (BCF) indicator that links to the BCF page as well as an Extended Core Formulary (ECF) indicator that links to the "new" ECF page. There is also the "new" Non-formulary (NF) page that has a link to individual agents. The "new" Formulary Search Tool has integrated the Prior Authorization and Medical Necessity forms and criteria into the search engine while still maintaining a page with a complete list of all criteria and forms. Any restrictions such as quantity, age and gender limits as well as customized notes will be displayed in the "Notes" section. This should make it easier to find all relevant information about a specific drug instead of trying to click on links to other web pages and sort through vast amounts of information.

PEC Webcast

The PEC webcasts provides a forum to better communicate to the MTFs about P&T activities, plans for future P&T meetings, answer questions regarding VA/DoD National contracts, formulary implementation, and tools/programs available - PMART, Deployment Prescription Program, Controlled Drug Medication Analysis and Reporting Tool (CD-MART), and pharmacy restriction program. Future webcasts will also be conducted to provide deployment information and tool/program updates. We welcome the input from the pharmacy community to provide worthwhile information you can use in your practice settings.
