Pharmacy
We are pleased to provide pharmacy services to all eligible beneficiaries. You can fill prescriptions at no cost from Fairchild Air Force Base Main Pharmacy. If you have a prescription from a TRICARE network or non-network provider, you can fill it here as long as it’s available on the TRICARE Formulary.
Please call us at 509-247-5567 to see if your prescribed prescription is on the most current TRICARE Formulary. Normally, we are able to provide up to a 90-day supply for most prescriptions.
