I am so sick ofbtryingbto deal with this company. Overcharge evertime. Even had to send me a $500 check for overcharges. I have a tier exception on one medication. My doctor fills put pages of paperwork and submits every year after my physical. Express Scripts never gets it right. I spend hours on the phone and finally get it resolved. I am just going to go without this critical medication rather than listen to their excuses for over billing.

Poor service
March 3, 2021

The government needs to sign a contract with another RX service. My doctor has electronically and faxed them the same RX 3 times and they still say they have not received it 2 weeks later. When you need prior authorization or a medical necessity approval they also put the documents in a dark hole and they have to be submitted at least three times. They say they respond to your inquiries within 24-72 hours, there answer is always not helpful you just get someone to listen to you and then agree with you and then they say they cannot find anything or cannot do anything. I am just saying I would switch but with Tricare this is my cheapest choice.

I'd bee receiving a T2D med for a year. They ran out around first of year and told me to contact MD about a new med. Started new med (at twice the copay). After taking med for 5 months told me I now need pre-arth, which then then denied. So having to build up dosage for third time in a year. And they use a fax machine to so they can claim they didn't get something. Must be only company left using 1985 tech.

Orders are never correct. Mislabeled drugs (they send you the wrong meds and mislabel them so they can charge you for expensive drugs, give you crap n pocket the overcharge! Who is watching these drug companies?) Customer service is non-existent! Then when you switch to a better insurance and leave ES they continually send you harassing robo calls, emails, and letters via snail mail. Customer service. Has no idea how to deal with ANY issue or how to navigate their own system. Wish i could give a negative rating!

Terrible
March 5, 2023

I find that Express Scripts goes to extreme efforts to change charges to higher amounts. I call them and get bounced from one office to another but never get my charges back where they had been or where they should be. If I could give them a ZERO I would do that

THE ABSOLUTE WORST!
October 26, 2022

We have no choice because the military has chosen to use this POS company. I have to take a medication for the remainder of my life. Despite this, this company chooses to make sure I "need" this medication. I am soooo sick of this problem. Maybe they feel if they make it difficult enough, they can save money by not having to fill the medication and patients will simply "go away". Total BS. The stress they cause patients is not worth the savings the military feels they get by using this POS company!

Unethical
October 18, 2021

... to expand on my pevous review this company has an F rating on BBB. They did not mail my medication for more than a month. Blamed me for not calling earlier and my Doctor for submitting the claim incorrectly he had sent it in perfectly. I was forced to use old and expired medication and then they refused to mail mine out until I paid a $10- balance overphone by credit card! I told them I only pay them by check as their are numerous complaints of unauthorized transactions by them. Nope, I had to pay or no medication. F rating you earned it!

They did not question an order that shorted me on meds for 3 months, after they said they would have everything taken care of from my md. Then i had to contact the md and get it fixed. They also said that I would be charged to get the rest of the meds to complete the 3 months prescription.

I am on a call with Express Scripts... 40+ minutes. Started with co-pay assistance who said my co-pay assistance was confirmed and sent me to scheduling to ship the medication. Scheduling had me sit on hold for 20+ minutes and said they needed to send me to someone else. She said there was no copay assistance information on my account and sent me back to co-pay assistance again. Disjointed, disjointed, disjointed. It has now been 50 minutes and my prescription is still not straightened out. How can one customer having to speak to 5 different people for over 50 minutes save money? This is expensive overhead that is added to the cost of everything else. They desperately need to reorganize so the right and left hand speak to one another. This is not my first horrible experience with them. I have had years of it. I do not understand why our HR department continues to sign with them. DREAD having to deal with them.

I just called Express Scripts Customer Service today because they shipped me a medication that I do not take. They refused to take the charge off of my account. I called my doctor's office and they told me they did not place the order. The persons working at CS and the Supervisor are very stubborn and UNhelpfull. Refuse to help = NO customer service. I'm annoyed with Express Scripts.

I wish I found this before signing up for their service. I have been a customer for 4 months and I'm canceling today. I mailed in a perscription and they got the dosage wrong, they got the refills wrong and used a doctors authorization that was not the doctor who filled the script. And since it was a controlled medication they won't fill it, correct their mistake, or mail back my prescription. What they did with the authorization is illegal and they should be held accountable. Don't use this company. Buyer beware.

Never received med. Called express scripts to see why. They said I had to call shipping company. They are the ones who contracted shipping company but told me I had to call them. So I did and shipping said it was lost, to call back express scripts. So after 6 hrs on phone to them and 3 days they finally said we're not going to replace meds. So I called my insurance -cigna healthspring and they finally made express scripts send me more med. They don't seem very professional.

Worst Company
March 8, 2022

They don't care about you as a patient and they don't care about you at all. I had someone actually tell me there is nothing they can do to help me. Their COVID 19 tests have been backordered for over a month while you can get them anywhere at cvs Walgreens and stop n shop.'you get a canned response from a social media specialist that due to high demand they backordered. I looked into switching my prescriptions to my local pharmacy because every time I call there is a problem. I try and avoid them as much as I can. Thanks for free COVID kits which you don't have I will pay on my own at cvs and order at Walgreens as I have a chronic liver disease (I know you don't care) and avoid you all together. I wish this company would just go out of business they are the worst.

Terrible customer service
November 18, 2019

My medication is on auto refill on a 90 day cycle. But it was arbitrarily changed to a120 day cycle. Calling them does no good. If a prescription is to be auto refilled every 90 days and the RX is current what is going on?

Poor Customer Services
September 21, 2021

I requested a rep to cancel a wrong prescription and Express Scripts continued to charge me and ship me 3 months supplies of the wrong prescription. I was also told the correct prescription only had 3 months worth of supplies so I had to call my doctor for a full year prescription. The doctor reported my prescription was in fact a year prescription. I called Express Scripts back and the woman said, "yes your correct prescription is good for a year" despite the previous woman on the phone telling me it was good for only 3 months. Next the rep shocked me again to learn the "wrong" prescription hadn't been cancelled during my morning phone call. If I hadn't called back, Express Scripts were going to charge and ship me the wrong prescription again! I also learned that I would receive no refund for their mistake shipping out the wrong medicine. Next, I asked to speak to the manager and the rep hung up on me.

I attempted to refill a prescription with the company. I was met with unknowledgeable CSR who were useless with reading from a menu or a script. I was noticed that the account that I had set up in March was deleted because I had not used it in18 months. Yet the have all the information. This company can prove to be detrimental to its customers health if they are so incompetent about prescriptions.

This is the worst Rx plan I have ever had. I am also paying more for my Rx's than I ever have. For one Rz, I never paid more than $45.00, this year, I am paying $168.00 for the very same medication. Run away from this insurance company.

I have Tricare and they make you use Express Scripts, if you don't you have to pay full price for your meds. Well that's ok until Express Scripts doesn't have your meds, first they don't tell you they can't fill your prescription then they offer no other options to help. I called Tricare and they told me to have it filled at Rite Aid, when asked if they were going to help with payment they said no. Express Scripts is socialized medicine and it fails.
