ESI's home delivery pharmacy Express Scripts Pharmacy is no longer taking new GLP-1 patients, according to an updated FAQ on its website citing market demand. It's now directing customers who were recently prescribed a GLP-1 to their network retail pharmacies to get their prescriptions filled.
If even a big PBM like ESI can't afford to lose money on filling GLP-1 prescriptions, how is it realistic to expect that local businesses can? Independent community pharmacies are being asked to take on these patients and would be left underwater on those drugs because of insufficient reimbursement from PBMs like ESI.
