Walgreens and Express Scripts Negotiations: Failed
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Walgreens and Express Scripts have been negotiating for the past year for Walgreens to continue as a pharmacy provider for Express Scripts’ network of providers. However, the negotiations failed, so when Walgreens’ contract expired on 31st December 2011, no renewal was made. Now, Express Scripts members have no choice but to look for other pharmacies to maintain their benefits. The question is if they can find other pharmacies as good and convenient as Walgreens.
Even TriCare, the health and prescription drug program for men and women in the military, was dragged into the mess. Nevertheless, seeing as how TriCare members could suffer from the unsuccessful negotiations, Walgreens offered to negotiate a separate contract for TriCare to avoid any disruption of service.
Aside from that, the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens is being enforced as a way to help individual and families save as much as they can when buying prescription drugs. People can avail of discounted membership fees for the whole month of January. The regular annual membership fee of $20 for individuals was reduced to $5 while the membership fee for families that’s normally $35 went down to $10.
