Active-duty members assigned to primary care managers at the 436th Medical Group can save time and money by using the Self-Initiated Care Kit (SICK) program to access over-the-counter medications for mild symptoms without needing appointments.
Medications that are available through the SICK program include Tylenol, Motrin, Mucinex, Zyrtec and many others (or their generic equivalents) to self-manage minor illnesses.
TRICARE covers all of the costs of these medications, and they will be provided as needed. Individuals are authorized, at most, three medications per month per patient.
