Members of drug card programs managed by Express Scripts will be shocked to discover in 2012 they can no longer use Walgreens to get prescriptions filled. Walgreen's will not be part of Express Scripts pharmacy provider network, effective January 1, 2012.
Express Scripts was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. Express scripts markets specialized management strategies to enhance the ability of pharmaceutical providers to sell drugs to grouped individuals. Express Scripts provides retail network pharmacy management, retail drug card programs, home delivery pharmacy service, specialty pharmacy service, patient care contact centers, benefit plan design and consultation, drug formulary management, electronic claims processing, and more.
Express Scripts helps individuals in groups formed by health management organizations, health insurers, third party administrators, employers, union sponsored benefit plans, workers compensation plans, and government health programs to get their prescriptions filled.
Walgreen's is the biggest drug store chain in the United States. Large plans that can contract with Walgreen's receive a proven, consistent service at convenient locations. No contract leaves patients served by Express Mart scrambling to find a local pharmacy to replace the service Walgreens corner retail store has been providing.
Home Care Path encourages user's of Express Script managed plans to be aware of this approaching change.
