Walgreens and Express Scripts Program

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Hey health care consumers... all of us in other words.  We have a very interesting situation to tell you about.

Express scripts is a middle man broker type of business.  They have been unwilling or unable to negotiate a new contract with our favorite pharmacy: WALGREENS.  This means that if you get your prescription medications through express scripts, You won't be able to use Walgreens for those orders.  Even if they are the best choice for you, If you have express scripts you will not be able to use then. for all the technical details you can see the official version here at Walgreens and Express Scripts.

 

For more on this issue you can also go to Walgreens on Twitter or Walgreens on Facebook. 

 

Here is the good news.  If your prescription drug benefit card does not say "express scripts" on it, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.  More good news... even if you have express scripts the program WALGREENS has their Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens.  You probably know about this saving plan that costs 20 dollars for an individual and 35 dollars for a family.

ON A TEMP basis, to deal with this mean trick of the broker. Walgreens is offering the same plan at a 75 percent discount.  YES  it only cost 5 dollars for an individual and ten dollars for a family.

 

Your local pharmacy is , as always, the best source for up to the minute information.  Tell us you experience.
