Express Scripts, Inc Company Background Reimbursent Management Assessment Express Scripts, Inc Company Background What is the role of this organization within healthcare environment? Express Scripts, Inc. is one of the nation's leading full-service pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") companies. The Company coordinates the distribution of outpatient pharmaceuticals through a combination of benefit management services, including retail drug card programs, Home Delivery services, formulary management programs and other clinical management programs. They also distribute a full range of injectible biopharmaceutical products directly to patients or their physicians, and provide extensive cost-management and patient-care services. These services are provided to health maintenance organizations, health insurers (including Cigna), employers, union-sponsored benefit plans, third-party administrators, workers’ compensation and governmental health programs. Relationship/impact with Cigna? Historically, Cigna’s relationship with ESI has evolved from market/supplier partners to currently being a PBM competitor. Market trend is toward specialty drugs (i.e. injectibles). ESI is looking to expand their earnings into this area which is achieved through Medical Benefits (not Pharmacy Benefits). In order to maximize their earnings in this area, they need to penetrate the Medical Benefits arena.

Express Scripts, Inc Core Strategy and Value Proposition Reimbursent Management Assessment Express Scripts, Inc Core Strategy and Value Proposition Healthier Outcomes Require Better Decisions. The Express Way - Six core values Three values shape who we are: Integrity, Mutual Respect and Passion. Integrity is first and foremost for a reason; it's our guiding beacon. Three more values define how we work: Alignment, Collaboration and Service. Together, we do the right thing for clients and patients, who count on us every day. To achieve healthier outcomes, we design and deliver solutions to support better prescription-related decisions. Our experience and research show that achieving optimal outcomes ultimately requires better decisions on the part of patients, caregivers and providers. We apply decision science to help us understand why people make the decisions they do and to help us determine how to make better decisions easier. Our platform for discovery and innovation is Health Decision ScienceSM. Behavioral Sciences - We apply proven strategies from the behavioral sciences, including choice architecture and message framing, in an approach we call Consumerology®. Because patient engagement is often unachievable, we work to make the best decisions as easy as possible. Our research has shown that poor decisions typically reflect a gap between intentions and behaviors. By anticipating member needs and preferences, then earning their attention, we can close these "intent-behavior" gaps. Clinical Specialization - Our specialist pharmacists and nurses provide personalized attention to patients diagnosed with costly chronic and complex conditions. We have a deep understanding of specific disease states, allowing us to better anticipate patient care needs. More than 1800 Express Scripts clinical specialists work directly with patients to optimize the health choices they make, ensuring safety, improving affordability and delivering world-class care. Actionable Data - Actionable data means providing the right data at the point of prescribing and running real-time safety checks at the point of dispensing. It means advising clients with data-driven recommendations for formularies, and counseling patients with relevant safety and savings information. With actionable data, we can predict nonadherence risks and work toward determining the most cost-effective interventions. Health Decision Science is at the heart of how we add value for clients and members. With this expertise, we have built practical solutions for three decision areas: Drug Choices - Express Scripts drug-choice solutions facilitate the proper use, selection and amount of the safest, most cost-effective generics and preferred brands. Pharmacy Choices - Our pharmacy-choice solutions help patients and their providers choose the most cost-effective, high-quality pharmacies for their conditions. Health Choices - Our health-choice solutions increase the effectiveness, safety and affordability of clinical care.
