Many services can deliver prescriptions right to your door. Specialty pharmacies can help you manage chronic conditions. It can be overwhelming to choose the right option for your needs.
This article guides you through selecting the best prescription service and offers the Select Rx phone number so you can get started right away.
TRICARE Home Delivery: Convenience at Your Doorstep
Want to get your prescriptions filled without having to leave the house? TRICARE Home Delivery might be the answer.
Getting Started with TRICARE Home Delivery
With TRICARE Home Delivery, your medications are delivered right to your door. To get started, just make sure you have about a 30-day supply of your medications on hand before you place your first order.
Benefits of Home Delivery
- Cost-Effective: You’ll save money compared to what you’d pay at retail pharmacies, especially when you’re using formulary and brand-name drugs. TRICARE estimates you could save $35 a year on formulary generics, $91 a year on formulary brands, and $152 a year on non-formulary medications.
- Convenient: Free standard shipping is included with every order. You can manage your refills and deliveries using the Express Scripts® mobile app.
- Secure: Your medications are delivered straight to your door, so you can be sure your information is private and your meds won’t get lost or stolen.
Navigating specialty pharmacy services
If you’re managing a complex or chronic condition, chances are you’re taking one or more specialty medications.
What are specialty medications?
Specialty medications are prescribed for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. They may require special handling or administration.

Other Health Insurance and TRICARE Home Delivery
If you have other health insurance (OHI), your eligibility for TRICARE Home Delivery could be affected. If your OHI covers your prescription or includes pharmacy benefits, you might not be able to use TRICARE Home Delivery.
Here are some potential scenarios:
- Your OHI has a limit to how much it covers.
If your OHI prevents you from using TRICARE Home Delivery, you still have options:
- Use a retail pharmacy within your OHI network.
- If your OHI doesn’t cover the medication, you can use a retail pharmacy in the TRICARE network.
Special circumstances and alternative options
TRICARE Home Delivery isn’t always the best option for everyone. For example, if you have an APO/FPO address, work at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, or live in Germany, you may have to use a military pharmacy or a pharmacy in your host nation.
In general, military pharmacies can be a great choice for filling prescriptions, especially for certain medications or if you’re located near one.
TRICARE also offers Therapeutic Resource Centers (TRCs), where you can get additional support and guidance on medication-related issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the phone number for Serve You Rx?
The phone number for Serve You Rx can be difficult to find directly. Often, it’s best to check your specific insurance plan’s website or pharmacy benefits information for the most accurate contact details. You can also try searching the Serve You Rx website directly, but be prepared to navigate through plan-specific portals to find the right number.
What is the phone number for SAV Rx prior authorization?
Unfortunately, a direct phone number for SAV Rx prior authorization is not readily available. Prior authorizations are usually handled through your prescribing physician’s office. They will typically initiate the process and communicate with the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) on your behalf. Check with your doctor’s office for assistance with prior authorization requests.
Is SelectRx a real pharmacy?
This is a valid question! It’s always good to be cautious. While I don’t have specific, up-to-the-minute verification of every pharmacy, you can typically check a pharmacy’s legitimacy by verifying their credentials with your state’s Board of Pharmacy. You can also look for online reviews and check with your insurance provider to see if they are an in-network pharmacy.
What is the Rx number?
The “Rx number,” or prescription number, is a unique identifier assigned to your prescription by the pharmacy that filled it. It’s usually printed prominently on your prescription label. You’ll need this number when refilling your medication online or over the phone, or when transferring your prescription to another pharmacy. It’s essentially your prescription’s serial number.
To Conclude
As a TRICARE beneficiary, you have several options for filling your prescriptions, including TRICARE Home Delivery, specialty pharmacies, and retail pharmacies.
When deciding which option is best for you, consider your individual needs, your out-of-pocket costs, how convenient the service is, and whether you have other health insurance.
Before making a decision, use the TRICARE formulary search tool and the Express Scripts mobile app to make sure you have the information you need to manage your prescriptions.
