Controlled Substance Prescription Policy

Fort Liberty pharmacies may only dispense a maximum of a 30-day supply of most controlled substances. The only authorized exception is for controlled substances prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, which may be filled for up to a 90-day supply. Schedule III through Schedule V Medications may be written for a 30-day supply, with up to five refills.

All beneficiaries should consider using home delivery to conveniently access your maintenance medications without leaving the house.

Effective April 1, 2020 all maintenance prescription refills for active duty service members will be transferred to TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery (also known as mail order pharmacy) to support the readiness of our warfighters.

We strongly encourage all other beneficiaries to register for home delivery to limit exposure and prevent any delays in therapy. There will be a co-pay for non-active duty patrons. Visit the TRICARE Copayments and Cost-Shares page for more information. 

You can get a 90-day supply of most medications at military pharmacies, via TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery.

Using Home Delivery With Other Health Insurance (OHI)

When you have other health insurance with pharmacy benefits in addition to TRICARE (such as Medicare or an employer-sponsored health insurance), TRICARE supplements don’t qualify as "other health insurance". Your other health insurance pays first and TRICARE pays second. You can avoid higher costs by getting your prescriptions filled at a TRICARE network pharmacy that is also in your other plan's network.

You can’t use Home Delivery if you have other health insurance, including Medicare Part D, unless:

• Your other plan doesn’t include pharmacy benefits, 
• The drug you need isn’t covered by your other plan, or
• You’ve met your other plan’s benefit cap 

If you’ve met any of these requirements, you can get your prescription filled through Home Delivery. You'll need to send proof from your other plan that it isn't covered or you've met the benefit cap.
