This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.
While I normally don’t post about medicines per say, I sometime dabble in health on Time 2 Eat Yall. Many of you may already follow Walgreens on Twitter or Walgreens on Facebook and already be up to date. But there are some changes at Walgreens regarding prescriptions that any of you currently relying on Express Plan should know.
Basically Express Scripts (see Walgreens and Express Script press release) and Walgreens no longer work together after unsuccessful negotiations and so the contract expired at the end of 2011. Walgreens wants to continue smoothly without an increase in costs to its customers even if that means they would receive lower reimbursement rates at below the industry average. This goes for all Walgreens pharmacies nationwide including Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area.
So if you were on the Express Scripts plan with Walgreens you may want to know the changes that will take place at Walgreens. To minimize disruption and inconvenience, Walgreens has put forth a comprehensive national effort to make the transition as smooth as they can even if that means taking care of you should you be forced to leave Walgreens in order to use Express Scripts in-network coverage.
While this only affects patients with certain prescription plans managed by Express Scripts, I would still suggest either contacting your local Walgreens or checking the back of your prescription card to see if your plans deals with Express Scripts.
Currently, Walgreens is promoting through January personal/family memberships (includes pets) with savings on more than $8,000 brand name and generic medications for $5.00 for an individual and $10.00 for a family as well as annual membership for its Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. This includes discounts on flu shots, diabetic supplies, bonus’s from buying Walgreens brand products for photo services and more.
