Military members and their families forced to leave their home base can get their prescription refill information transferred from the Gulf Coast to a military treatment facility or a retail pharmacy—no need to see a primary care provider to have them rewritten. Any evacuee, who had been using the mail-in program, can go to a retail pharmacy if the mail is still not running. Need help, call Tricare at 866-275-4732; mail-order pharmacy, 866-363-8667; retail pharmacy, 866-363-8779. Don’t you wish there was just one number
