Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Some of you may not hear about Walgreens and Express Script dispute. If you are not familiar with the dispute, let me explain.  For the past year Walgreens had been trying to negotiate with Express Scripts for a new contract.  These negotiations were failed, and the contract expired on December 31, 2011.  The result is that a lot of pharmacy patients are being forced to go elsewhere to use their in-network benefits, and it seems that this is completely unnecessary.  In other words, these patients are experiencing a significant disruption with no significant benefits.

                                                                                                                                                                          

Express Scripts wanted to increase your pharmaceutical rates at the Walgreens pharmacy. They also wanted the option to decide which medicine will be generic or not. Walgreens was fighting on the side of the Military trying to keep rates the same. Walgreens is doing what it can to help.  They are offering a special discount on annual membership for the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. An individual can join during a special January promotion for only $5, or $10 for a family membership, and receive savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. More than 400 generics are available with a three-month supply for less than $1 a week. Regular annual membership is $20 for an individual and $35 for a family. This will allow members like the military to save money.
