Rx ACCESS Act improves TRICARE pharmacy benefits by enhancing access, fairness, and transparency.
The Rx ACCESS Act amends the TRICARE pharmacy benefits program to improve access to medications. It allows beneficiaries to choose their prescription refill method starting October 1, 2026. The bill mandates that pharmacy reimbursements equal the sum of the actual cost to the pharmacy and a professional dispensing fee. It prohibits pharmacies from imposing fees on TRICARE. The Secretary of Defense must submit a plan for implementing these changes to congressional defense committees within 90 days of enactment.
