The Value Express Scripts Delivers
A prescription drug doesn’t work if it’s priced out of reach. Express Scripts fights to ensure clients and consumers have access to safe, effective and affordable medications and life-sustaining or life-saving therapies.
Who We Are
18k employees across 20 sites in the U.S.
3,500+ patient service advocates
Thousands of pharmacists, doctors and nurses with specialties by disease state
Working on Client Terms & Defending Consumer Wallets
Express Scripts offers clients multiple options to support the unique needs of their populations. Clients have complete control and flexibility to choose their specific benefit design, network and pricing structure. Employers, health plans, labor unions, government organizations and many others partner with us because of the significant value we create by:
- Negotiating rebates and discounts from drug manufacturers and providing formulary management services
- Negotiating reimbursement rates and reduced fees with thousands of retail pharmacies nationwide to create industry-leading pharmacy networks
- Encouraging the use of generics, biosimilars and more affordable brand-name drugs
- Managing high-cost specialty medications with high-touch clinical care coordination
- Improving population health, reducing waste and increasing clinically appropriate medication adherence
Clients can use the savings we generate to reduce plan costs and insurance premiums, fund wellness programs, and deliver other benefits to their covered employees and dependents.
If we didn’t provide significant value for our thousands of partners, we wouldn’t exist.
