Explore Tricare’s formulary for PDE5 inhibitors. Tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) offer similar effects to Viagra and may be covered at lower cost. Check your specific plan’s coverage details to confirm.
Generic Options
Generic versions of Tadalafil and Vardenafil are typically significantly cheaper than brand-name medications. Request a generic prescription from your doctor to maximize savings. Consider comparing prices at different pharmacies in your network.
Lifestyle Changes
Address underlying health conditions like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. These conditions often contribute to erectile dysfunction. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques can improve overall health and may positively impact erectile function.
Alternative Treatments
Discuss non-pharmaceutical options with your physician, such as vacuum erection devices or penile injections. These might be suitable alternatives or complementary treatments, depending on your individual situation and Tricare coverage.
Negotiating Costs
Contact your Tricare provider directly to discuss potential cost-saving programs or assistance options. They might offer assistance or information on financial aid programs that could help manage the cost of your prescription medications.
Prior Authorization
Some medications may require prior authorization from Tricare. Submit your request as early as possible to avoid delays in receiving your medication. Your doctor’s office can often assist with this process.
