Walgreens has talked with Express Scripts for their newest contract to persist as a branch of its pharmacy provider network. Unfortunately those negotiations failed, and the contract finished last Dec. 31. The outcome was, Walgreens is no longer a part of the Express Scripts’ pharmacy supplier network as of Jan. 1, 2012. Beyond the contract issues between Walgreens and Express Scripts is the value of your local community pharmacy.
Who is affected? Those patients with certain prescription insurance plans managed by Express Scripts are affected. Check with your local Walgreens pharmacist to find out.
Patients with this Express Scripts plan presently find themselves not merely having to modify their pharmacists, but some have to construct beyond in order to acquire prescriptions filled at pharmacies with fewer convenient hours intended for those who have hectic plans. Because of this, Walgreens added more 24-hour and drive thru pharmacies than any other pharmacy in the country.

If it doesn’t say Express Scripts, then they are not affected. You can support Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter.
