Express Scripts drives to lowest net cost by enabling better health and value at the consumer level. As evidence, Express Scripts’ generic dispensing rate leads the industry.
We call St. Louis home, but there are administrative, pharmacy, and customer service operations throughout the United States and Canada. Express Scripts continues to expand its services and today there are more than 11,500 employees focused on our mission to make the use of prescription drugs safer and more affordable.
