An important benefit.
Many retirees take for granted the importance of their pharmacy.
They save an important part of their income as they receive life-saving medications free of charge. Beginning in October, the pharmacy will give a three month supply of medication if the retiree's physician prescribes that quantity. This includes most maintenance medications. Here are 25 commonly-prescribed medications and the cost paid by the military pharmacy. The retail cost of this benefit would be at least 25 percent higher.
