Express Scripts Inc. Nixes Walgreens
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Just been made aware that Walgreens and Express Scripts have gone separate ways and through no fault of Walgreens. I decided to read a bit deeper into what occurred because my dad was a veteran and during his last years I was handling his legal paperwork, including medical claims. As a veteran he had TriCare, the defense department’s pharmacy benefit. This was administered by Express Scripts which meant I had personal dealings with them.
Based upon what I read, our current military personnel, plus our veterans, will no longer be able to use Walgreens to fill their prescriptions. So how did this happen? Digging deeper I found that Express Scripts wanted a contract that not only gave it more control over defining what is and is not a generic but would also reimburse Walgreens at a lower rate than the national average.
If you have been a Walgreens and Express Scripts client and want to be able to still use Walgreens to fill your prescriptions, make your voice heard. Contact your local media. Support Walgreens by liking Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter. In the meantime, save money on your prescriptions by taking advantage of a special annual membership discount on the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens .
