Retail giant Walmart Inc. and pharmacy-benefit manager Express
Scripts Holding Co. have extended their network agreement to
provide access to Walmart's prescription services for Express
Scripts clients' covered members.
The three-year agreement will help both insured and uninsured
customers save money on prescription drugs, the companies said
Wednesday.
Walmart also will participate in Express Scripts's
pharmacy-savings program called InsideRx, which provides discounts,
on average of 40%, to uninsured Americans using brand-name
prescription drugs.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Walmart has operated a program since
2006 to provide a range of generic drugs for $4. Walmart, which
operates more than 4,700 pharmacies, said it will continue to work
with Express Scripts on pricing options to help people with no
health-care coverage and those who need products not covered by
their insurance.
