        <RULE_TITLE>TRICARE: TRICARE Retail Pharmacy Program </RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will make several administrative changes to the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program regulations in order to make them conform more closely to the statute, and to clarify some procedures regarding the operation of the uniform formulary.  Specifically, the rule will:  Conform the regulation to the statute regarding point-of-service availability of nonformulary drugs; clarify the process for formulary placement of newly approved drugs; streamline the process for updating copayment requirements; specify the method for applying the statutory formula for maximum nonformulary drug copayments; and clarify several other uniform formulary practices.  This rule is separate from, but not inconsistent with, the legislative proposal made by the Department to implement portions of the President's Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 relating to the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program.]]></ABSTRACT>
