Welcome to TRICARE Prescription Explorer
At TRICARE Prescription Explorer, we believe that every military member and their family deserves clear, accurate, and easy-to-understand information about their prescription benefits. Whether you’re active duty, a veteran, or a dependent navigating the complexities of TRICARE, you shouldn’t have to guess what’s covered — you should know.
What We Do
Our mission is simple: to demystify TRICARE’s formulary and empower you with the knowledge to make confident, informed healthcare decisions. We provide a reliable, up-to-date search tool that helps you quickly find drug coverage details, cost tiers, prior authorization requirements, and pharmacy network guidelines — all in one place.
Topics We Cover
We focus exclusively on TRICARE prescription benefits, including:
- Current TRICARE formulary listings
- Drug coverage tiers and out-of-pocket costs
- Prior authorization and step therapy requirements
- Pharmacy options: retail, mail-order, and military treatment facilities
- Eligibility rules for active duty, retirees, and dependents
- Changes in coverage and policy updates from the Defense Health Agency
About the Creator
TRICARE Prescription Explorer was founded by Madeline Sterling, a former military spouse and healthcare advocate with over a decade of experience helping families navigate military healthcare systems. After struggling to find consistent, reliable information about her own family’s prescription coverage, she created this tool to fill the gap — not just for her, but for thousands of others facing the same confusion.
Why This Website Exists
TRICARE’s formulary can be overwhelming. Websites change, policies shift, and official resources are often hard to navigate. Too many families end up paying more than they should — or worse, going without needed medications because they didn’t know what was covered. We built TRICARE Prescription Explorer to cut through the noise and deliver clarity, one search at a time.
Our Values and Approach
We are committed to accuracy, transparency, and accessibility. Every drug listing is cross-referenced with official Defense Health Agency sources and updated regularly. We don’t accept advertising, sponsorships, or paid placements — our only goal is to serve you with unbiased, trustworthy information. We write in plain language, avoid jargon, and design our tool with real users in mind.
Contact Us
We value your feedback and are here to help. If you have questions about a medication, notice an outdated listing, or just want to share how this tool helped you, please reach out. You can contact Madeline directly at [email protected]. While we’re based in Perth, Australia, our work serves the global TRICARE community — including service members and families stationed worldwide.
