Express Scripts
Express Scripts, Inc. is a Fortune 100 company, and it is one of the largest Pharmacy Benefit Management organizations in the United States.
The company processes pharmaceutical claims for members at network pharmacies and at their own mail order pharmacies. Headquartered in Cool Valley, Missouri in Greater St. Louis, Express Scripts provides integrated pharmacy benefit management services including network-pharmacy claims processing, home delivery services, specialty benefit management, benefit-design consultation, drug-utilization review, formulary management, and medical and drug data analysis services to manage drug plans for government agencies (both as administrator of employee benefits and public assistance programs), corporations, and unions. One of their largest clients is the United States Department of Defense's TRICARE program.
On April 16, Express Scripts announced that it was launching a new product that aims to help patients stay on their meds by predicting who will stop taking prescriptions before the person actually does it.
The pharmacy benefits manager is launching ScreenRx, a program that uses a computer to sift through hundreds of factors that affect patients and forecast who is most likely to forget a refill or simply stop taking their drugs. The company then plans to contact those patients to help them stick with their doctor's orders.

Famous quotes containing the word express:
“To keep up even a worthwhile tradition means vitiating the idea behind it which must necessarily be in a constant state of evolution: it is mad to try to express new feelings in a “mummified” form.”
—Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
