    I am hard-put to find any reason to complain about Express Scripts. I have nothing but compliments and gratitude for their service. They have excelled on every level for me. They are efficient, thorough, patient and very customer centric. Additionally their prices are extraordinarily competitive. Many thanks!! Patti E.

    I love Express Script, they are great! I get my meds cheap and the pharmacist are all helpful. I cannot say that for all customer service people but they do a great job as well. Just like every company you have some that are moody and mad from the time they get out of bed. I have all my medications in a bag in the fridge, and my kid put them in the freezer to put his stuff in the fridge. I found out late, they were frozen when I found out. I called Express Script, took three or four times but it was done and I was happy. Except for two people who told me I have enough to last me awhile without asking me why I wanted early refill, it was great experience. I just wished the processing time is less than 5 days, I will keep using them. They are great, and better than my local pharmacy.

      I don’t know why there are a bunch of 1 star reviews. Express Scripts flawlessly handles three of my prescriptions and they are always delivered in a timely manner and the customer service is excellent. I am very happy with their service and will continue to use it, I don’t go to in person pharmacies any more.

      We Love Express Scripts! Trick is having your doctor hand you your handwritten prescriptions then send pics of them to Express Scripts. My family is never going back to Walmart for prescriptions. Walmart had us all fooled making us think they was cheaper with $5.00 flat rate fees on some meds, only to find out those same meds have no charge on Express Scripts. And the ones that Walmart charges $46.00 for one month supply, only costs $46.00 for a 3 month supply on Express Scripts.

      I am a retired NYC prosecutor, paid insurance for 35 years and barely used it as I was healthy. Unfortunately that's not the case anymore and am dependent on Express Scripts PICA plan for life-sustaining medication. For whatever reason injectable medication can only be filled through Accredo an online pharmacy that is so incompetent it's almost a crime. I suspect they hide behind their incompetence to defraud members. It's insane.

      Accredo was billing me 16k for I'm still not sure what since my medication although I had copay assistance. Apparently, they were not collecting the copay amounts or the copay companies were not covering the 4k a month my meds cost. Finally, they racked up about 16k + they were billing me and refusing to send my meds.

      I was blessed to connect with Dillon J who rectified the problem. Unfortunately, I still have to fill my medication through Accredo and although I'm no longer on the hook for their exorbitant and I suspect fraudulent billing. I've now missed over a week of medication. I live in fear of having a relapse/MS flare. I can't drive because of the possibility of renewed symptoms.

      Please don't limit sick people to Accredo. It's cruel. I thank God for Dillon J, a supervisor at Express Scripts for his handling of this situation. In my 2 year ordeal with Accredo, he was the only competent and empathetic employee I encountered. We are not the enemy. We are sick people who are just asking to be treated fairly and with compassion. Did I mention I paid for this insurance? This matter was settled Thursday and I was supposed to receive my meds Friday. It's Monday and ACCREDO screwed up again. Express Scripts please don't limit us to using Accredo.

      First order pricing was reasonable, second order the cost went up 13 times, requested to transfer the prescription out to other Pharmacy, no response at all, very uncommon customer service. Preferred Pharmacy status can be changed monthly. They can changed pricing monthly.

      After leaving original review and being asked to reach out to an email address, my issue has been resolved. I received my medication back without an additional charge. I genuinely appreciate the resolution as this mistake would have originally cost me $1200 out of pocket. Would suggest going this route for anyone experiencing something similar.

      Worst mail order pharmacy I have ever worked with. All employees are ignorant and incompetent. Do not trust anything that comes out of any employees mouth, including managers and supervisors. They refused to stop shipping on a medication I called to have stopped due to insurance issues. Needed the Rx delayed for 2 weeks but needed filled exactly 2 weeks later for the next 90 days. Was told to refuse the package from FedEx BY an Express Scripts employee. Refused the delivery, was sent back to Express Scripts and destroyed due to temperature control. I was told by a manager that the Rx should not have been returned but because it was, I could request a replacement as soon as package was received and processed.

      Called back after package was returned - now am being told that Rx cannot be replaced AND claim cannot be reversed. I am missing 90-days worth of medication I will die without and can get ZERO help. No replacement, no reversed claim, am unable to refill for 90 days. They have not a care in the world. Mind you I have spent approximately 7 hours on the phone with Express Scripts over the last week. Oh, and to top this off I just waited 45 minutes on hold for another supervisor and I was hung up on by manager.

      I recently received a prescription with incorrect dosing information. I emailed three times to get a written response with the correct dosage information, but was repeatedly told to call a pharmacist who was not currently available because it was outside of office hours. It’s hard to believe they are allowed to get away with this neglectful and inaccurate behavior.

      This is a company that does NOT care about the health of anyone. They are solely focus on what profit they can make and not on the effects of their uneducated decisions causes. I have called for over a week trying to get a prior authorization approved. I have been denied 3 times resulting in me not having my medication for 8 days. If they would employ people who care and who does not give providers incorrect information this company would be better. They is the most stressful company you will ever have to deal with. I would give them a ZERO if I could.

      The fact that they can deny a doctor’s is absolutely ridiculous. I have had two prescription in a month denied! Doctor went through the appeal process and was still denied. They are not doctors!!! I would give them -5 if that was an option.
