DoD Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 required the establishment of a Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee to develop and maintain a Uniform Formulary of medications—a list of brand name and generic drugs and supplies that TRICARE covers—which provides pharmacy benefits in the outpatient setting.

The Department of Defense P&T committee meetings are held quarterly, with recommendations determining which medications are included on the Uniform Formulary based on clinical and cost-effectiveness of the agents.

The DOD P&T committee recommendations are then discussed publicly with the Beneficiary Advisory Panel, which is comprised of nongovernmental organizations representing DOD beneficiaries, pharmacy contractors and TRICARE network providers.

The Department of Defense Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee's mission is to uniformly, consistently, and equitably provide appropriate drug therapy to meet the clinical needs of DOD beneficiaries in an effective, efficient, and fiscally responsible manner.
