By far the most despicable crooks in the pharmacy game(and that is saying a lot). This company will do anything they can to screw you over. It is their mission to make every single person forced to use them as miserable as possible. I would rather drive a mail through my own hand than have to contact this horrible company.

Money & Shareholders First, Patients Zero Priority
This company is clearly a money grab within the larger 'big pharma' disaster that is devastating everyday Americans. I would rate with 0 or -1 is possible. The PBM model needs to be dismantled, starting with investigations of collusion activity and their individual board members.

Do not order from this company
Do not order from this company! Express scripts puts profits over customers health. I tried to get my heart meds filled by Express scripts since February and finally I cancelled the order to go to the company I used to use, and suprise suprise the med arrived the next day after I cancelled it. Insurance won't cover the rx from my old company and Express scripts won't reverse the charges. This is a scam company, your life is littealy in danger using them.They do not care about people at all!!! Please avoid them at all costs. I would give them a zero if I could.

Continuity of Care
Continuity of care should be among the highest priorities of any pharmacy. Processing refills of important medications without a lapse is crucial. If the provider and patient follow the procedures, but there's a problem at the pharmacy's end, alternatives should be presented immediately and followed up. It's the pharmacy's duty to expedite, assist and communicate until the meds are in the patient's hands. Express Scripts' robotic, overburdened system has completely detached itself from that duty. Courteous customer service representatives, when you finally get to speak to one, have neither the expertise nor authority to resolve problems. Communications – email, text, phone, online account – often contain contradictory, misleading or outright false information. In the absence of ethics and competence, Express Scripts ceases to be a pharmacy and becomes nothing more than a pharmaceutical warehouse. For Tricare's military families, it's a terribly sad violation of trust.

Unfortunately 1 star is as low as it…
Unfortunately 1 star is as low as it goes
I am a disabled veteran and I am forced to use Express scripts for my medications. I have been locked out of my account since the beginning of the year and no one is capable of helping. They even went as far as blaming it on my military service. The people that answer the phones are rude, condescending, and incapable of actually fixing an issue. Having to use Express Scripts is a punishment, not a benefit, and if Express Scripts is what you people think of your veterans, all I can say is "Same to you buddy"

If I was able to give a zero star…
If I was able to give a zero star rating, I would. This is the WORST experience my wife and I have ever had with any insurer/pharmacy company. They have repeatedly botched orders which resulted in delays in my wife receiving needed medicine and unnecessary suffering on her part even though we ordered in plenty of time. They've made mistakes on my prescriptions as well resulting in significant delays in getting my meds. Customer service did not follow up on what they said they'd do multiple times. Then, to make it worse, the shipment is apparently by slow boat from a galaxy far, far away. The word "express" should definitely NOT be part of their name. I will discuss this situation with my company's HR benefit manager and request they make a change. If their service doesn't improve, I'll need to seriously consider seeking other employment to be with a company that doesn't use them.

Giving this company a "1" star rating…
Giving this company a "1" star rating is way too high! Unfortunately we are forced to use this company due to my husband's insurance.
I have been using a Symbicort inhaler for my asthma for 1-1/2 years now. A month ago I received a letter from Express Scripts that they would no longer be authorizing this drug and recommended that I switch to the generic Budesonide. According to their letter, it is a very simple process to change my medication. I just need to inform my pharmacy, they will contact my physician, get their authorization and we are done. Well let me tell you, their process is nothing as they describe in their letter!!!
After my doctor authorized the medication change, the pharmacy notified Express Scripts. Express Scripts rejected the new medication and told my pharmacy that they want to me use another drug instead, Breyna. So, my pharmacy contacts my physician again and sends a new authorization form for the new drug. My physician's office calls me to let me know what had happened and that they were authorizing the newest drug, Breyna. My pharmacy sends it back to Express Scripts again for approval where it is rejected AGAIN. Now they have decided that this easy process THEY describe in their letter is no longer adequate. They now need my doctor to submit a pre-authorization form and fill out the required documents explaining why I need to be on this drug. They will not approve this prescription until this is done. WHAT?!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! What happened to your easy medication change process? Well, I never did get the answer to that question. Unfortunately for me, it's Friday evening. My doctor's office will not be open again until Monday and I have no medication. Express Scripts doesn't care. They were very sorry to hear that but unfortunately no one there can over-ride this rule. That's a lie! If they really wanted to help, they would figure it out. I asked the woman on the other end of the phone, if it were one of her family members in this situation if she would be telling them the same thing. There was no answer, AGAIN! Go figure!
My husband uses them as well, so we have plenty more aggravating experiences with this company however, this one is just over the top! If you have a choice with your insurance provider, STAY CLEAR OF EXPRESS SCRIPTS!

Horrible Experience, I Would Never Recommend
On the 17th of January, I put in an order with express scripts for three 90-day prescriptions. Each script was for $135 dollars. The employee, Amber, placed my order and explained to me that they had a payment method that would be $135 per month for three months. I received an email indicating that one of the scripts would be over $500, and I received a bill indicating that another medication was $307, and only one was $135. After speaking with nine employees that had no idea how to assist me, I finally spoke with the supervisor who informed me that the change in price was due to Medicare. However, when I requested the script be sent, the price was the original $135 per script, by the time this company actually sent the scripts, the price had increased significantly. This place is run by incompetent, lazy staff that make terrible mistakes and try to place the blame on others. They didn't even inform me that the cost of the medication increased by over $500 from the original price. I would never recommend anyone use their services, EVER!
