Express Scripts targeted by Arkansas pharmacies in first-of-its-kind lawsuit
Arkansas passed a law last year giving pharmacies the authority to sue PBMs for underpayments. Twelve independent pharmacies are now the first to take advantage of the new enforcement mechanism.

ExpressScripts tried to send me the safety needle this time. If their needles weren’t so crap I would have pulled this one out when it was obvious I hit something. I don’t bleed often. They sent a thicker gauge needle and I tried new batch. Don’t think I nailed the IM part today, just SubQ B12

ExpressScripts 2/2. Yearly costs you use when selecting a PartD plan are apparently useless since costs can go up without limit (~9X in my case) with no warning at anytime.
How is it that the USA has the most expensive, least friendly, poorest outcomes (especially if you’re not rich) health care?!

1 more go w/ ExpressScripts-told "Medication prices can fluctuate based on several factors, such as the total cost a pharmacy had to pay the manufacturer when the supplies are restocked. Because your copay on future refills may change, please come back and price before your next refill. 1/2

Been on this generic Tier 1 BP med since I went on Medicare. Never been this costly! 90d now more than I’ve paid for full year in the past. Will check pricing before next refill & likely dump ExpressScripts.

Tried calling, eventually got to a person, went round & round explaining nothing in meds or plan had changed just the almost 9X cost jump. Finally told ExpressScripts costs went up w/out warning so that is what I must now pay. No idea if true & no reason given for why I wasn’t informed.

When I signed up for my PartD plan blood pressure meds cost was $2.75 which it was for 1st 2 90D refills. Thought latest fill from ExpressScripts at $23.75 must be an error. Got no rational reason via online message app.

How stupid is our health care "system"? My insurance would only preauthorize a prescription through Accredo, the online specialty pharmacy associated with ExpressScripts. The "amount billed" was $4,376.96. (No way to know what insurer paid.)
$67.07 at GoodRX, $40.26 from Cost Plus Drugs.

For seven years, my employer changed insurance and prescription coverage every single year.
By MILES, the absolute WORST insurance company is United Health Care, and the worst prescription coverage is ExpressScripts.

The only reason Walgreens does more biz is that big Pharma & expressscripts types of companies will only let you get a 3-mos supply at one time at Walgreens; sometimes your med becomes a Walgreens only available too.

That's frigging infuriating. That's why I prefer prescription by mail stuff like ExpressScripts, but I have no idea if that's even a thing in Australia.
