It was recently brought to my attention that due to ongoing negotiations between Express Scripts on behalf of the Department of Defense and independently owned pharmacies, these pharmacies may be unable to provide prescriptions for TRICARE patients. This could restrict pharmacy access for millions of people all over the country, including many throughout Alabama.

I’ve joined other Congressional colleagues in writing a letter to the administration official in charge of this matter formally seeking answers about this announcement. Until this issue is resolved, my staff and I can help you locate other pharmacies where you can purchase your prescriptions or learn more about how to receive your prescriptions through the mail. I strongly encourage anyone who is affected to call or come by any of my district offices. We will do all we can to help.
