Express Scripts

The app is good, and it is easy to order scripts. Cons: Changing an alert is next to impossible. Removing a medication is not possible as far as I can see. The virtual pharmacy ID card is not printable and does not contain all of the information the hard copy card has. (I have ordered a hard copy about 25 times, and have yet to receive a hard copy) There is not a section for drugs you may be allergic to. If you are looking to see your claims and history, or medicine history; you are out of luck. The search thinking wheel spins forever and almost always times out giving the message “9999: We are sorry, we are unable to complete your transaction at this time. Please try again later.”. Should you actually reach your history of any kind, forget actually printing it out. Pricing a medication by history is a long shot Only about 10 current medications show up and only about half of those are actually current up to date medications that you are taking. You better be an ace speller. If you misspell any drugs when searching within the app, the search is not smart and will not recognize even a close misspelled medication. In the world of apps, this one needs some work.

The reason for only 4 stars are that #1 the app offers to keep track of how much medicine you have, however you have to input when you refill a medicine, rather then them update it automatically. #2 the app is slow to sync when a prescription is processed/shipped/delivered and I mean sometimes by three days #3 This may be more of a ‘plan’ issue “con” then ‘app’ but if you refill a prescription and it’s too early to fill (you have the option of as early as a month-online to refill) rather then the day it is dispensed, you will be billed the day you refill online. #4 their is an option to send a secure message to the RX company through the app. But you must log into the app continually to check to see if it was responded to, rather then being alerted through an email, letting you know that it’s been replied to. #5 Twice I’ve had issues logging in. Sometimes it’s after an update, or when your fingerprint doesn’t register but password does. The support center actually recommends that you delete their app, then reinstall. This is under FAQ in the support Center online. Again, these are just small grievances of the APP, nothing that reflects on the overall plan itself. I simply wanted to layout why I only gave the app 4 stars. On a side note: I save an enormous amount of money by using their mail-order service. I think overall they are an excellent plan D for Medicare patients.

This is an excellent app and prescription service. I get reminders when my medications are ready to refill so I don’t have to go a day without them. The mail service saves me money and unnecessary trips to the drugstore , especially when I have mobility limitations. My physicians send the prescriptions directly to them, that way every doctor and the pharmacy are aware of the medications that I’m taking. I can also call to get refill of my prescriptions, and they get in touch with my doctor should the prescriptions have no more refills. Company representatives are courteous, compassionate and try to help so I can get the medications as soon as possible. Another feature thatI like about this mail order pharmacy is that I can get vacation refills if I have to travel outside of the USA, and if I travel within the USA, I can have my prescriptions delivered to me where I am. It has been a life saver for me since I have various health ailments for which I need to take medications on a daily basis. Thank you for your services and support.

When I realized that my new prescription was not set up for automatic refill (my bad —I assumed that once I set it up that it would do that for all prescriptions that were submitted), I ordered a refill through the app and selected 2 Day Shipping since I knew the holidays would mess up the arrival day. I checked the confirmation email that I received and noticed that 1 Day Shipping had been confirmed. Since I didn't want to pay that much, I went back into the app and re-selected 2 Day Shipping. I didn’t bother checking the confirmation email because I mistakenly assumed the problem was fixed. Just out of curiosity to track my package, I opened the email the next day and noticed Free Ground Shipping had been confirmed (I should have checked the email the same day). Apparently selecting 2 Day Shipping will either set you up for 1 Day Shipping OR Free Ground Shipping—but not the actual 2 Day Shipping. The order was placed well within business hours Friday and the order did not get processed until Monday (day before Xmas). So after two days of going cold turkey off my new prescription I should finally get it in the mail tonight, a week later. When I went to contact ExpressScripts I was put on hold and told a wait time of 36mins. So I went online to contact through secure message and it told me all day that sorry, the service was temporarily down and to try again later.

This coverage is provided to me due to my husbands service to this glorious country. I dread having to refill my prescriptions, because there is a huge disconnect between the provider and the pharmacy. I always have pleasant representatives when I call, but the company has so many restrictions on medications, that I have seriously thought of just giving up on this company, and just paying cash. Again, this is not about the wonderful reps, this is about a company that has gotten too large and unmanageable. When I have asked to speak to the CEO, they put me on hold and then the call is dropped. So in wrapping up, representatives are knowledgeable and patient, but the company need to ease up on restrictions and policy. If the CEO want more information, you have my phone #, so call and discuss. I am a Physician Assistant that worked my entire career in Emergency Medicine, at night (6p-6a), 3-4 nights a week for 30+ years, so I have written many prescriptions and know how the system works. I urge the management to reach out to patients and ask them about the service that are getting from this corporation. I gave you 2 stars because you really need to work on the patient-pharmacy-physician disconnect.
