Pharmacy Options For DOD Medicare-Eligible Retirees
Published Date: February 1, 2000
The Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery asked CNA to examine several alternative pharmacy plans that would extend prescription coverage to the DOD 65+ Medicare-eligible population. The specific pharmacy plans examined fall under three general categories. After paying an enrollment fee, beneficiaries may receive prescriptions (1) through mail order, (2) at the military treatment facility (MTF) or mail order, or (3) at retail pharmacies or through mail order. This research memorandum describes these options and the costs to DOD for each.
