It appears that Express Scripts is forcing you to leave independent community pharmacies, and compounding pharmacies in particular in order to access your Tricare pharmacy benefits.  They have terminated our Tricare contract effective 10/24/22. Those pharmacies that remain in network are having their reimbursement rates slashed.  We have seen draconian measures like this before from Express Scripts, the $174 billion company* that manages prescription benefits for Tricare and others.  Over the years they have created a huge financial position for themselves in between pharmacy providers, plan sponsors, patients and even drug companies, pulling a staggering $7 billion in profit* out of the pharmacy industry and the pockets of plan sponsors.  In the past they have been forced to reverse some Tricare policies because of the massive outcry from military folks, pharmacies and other stake holders.  This latest stunt feels very much like Express Scripts acting to redirect patients to pharmacies they own, which seems like a conflict of interest.
