My Beef with Express Scripts – Part 3 5
You may recall my tirade against Express Scripts, the online pharmacy that my primary health insurance company requires I use for maintenance medications in order to receive my negotiated rate. For those of you whose memories fail you, please take a second to peruse my soap box moment regarding this company. Last week, two separate people in the blogosphere used Residential Space as a means for venting their own frustrations towards Express Scripts. It appears that they have pissed off more than just yours truly.
Recently I refilled my birth control pills, and enjoyed a strange pleasure in paying money for them at my local Walgreen’s. I suppose the day may arrive where I could require medications for hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, and it may become too expensive to purchase them. Of course, what would be more expensive would be fees for a nursing home following a stroke because Express Scripts failed to send my medications to me on time. Yet, another reason not to have a chronic illness.
