The formulary is updated on a regular basis to include tier changes and utilization (UM) requirements. A formulary may change during the year if we remove drugs from our formulary, add a prior authorization requirement, add quantity limits and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug, and/or move a drug to a higher cost-sharing tier.
We must notify you at least 30 days before any of these changes become effective. At the time you request a refill, you will receive a 30-day supply of the drug.
The table below outlines changes to the TRICARE formulary applicable to Martin’s Point USFHP since 1/1/2026.
QL= Quantity Limit | PA=Prior Authorization | ST=Step Therapy
Stay informed with the latest FDA recalls and safety alerts affecting your medications and health devices. Understanding these updates ensures your health and safety by avoiding affected products.
Not all recalls are announced on FDA.gov or in the news media. Public notification is generally issued when a product that has been widely distributed or poses a serious health hazard is recalled. However, if a company does not issue public notification of a recall, FDA may do so if the agency determines it is necessary to protect patients and consumers. Patients and consumers also may learn that their medicine has been recalled through notification from the manufacturer, their doctor or pharmacist.
FDA recommends patients talk to their health care professional about the best course of action for their health if they have a medication that has been recalled.
