Bright and early this morning, almost at 0800, I received a direct real person phone call from a pharmacist at ExpressScripts. He attempted to explain why the script for a Libre 3 Continuous Glucose Monitor from my GP was not being filled by them. The reason he stated, was that ExpressScripts does not yet carry the Libre 3; they could however fill a script for a Libre2. Hummmm?
I attempted to relate that I received a letter from ExpressScripts stating that the reason they refused to fill the order was that my GP was just that, a GP and not a diabetic specialist. He apologized and stated that was not correct. When I told him I was buying Libre 3s directly from an online supplier, not a problem but at an out-of-pocket cost of over $200 per month he essentially wished me luck.
Keep what’s going on here in perspective. ExpressScripts’ contract with the government started in January 2023 and runs through 2029. It has value in the billions of dollars and serves over 9.6 million active-duty service members, their family members, and retirees.
It would appear we’re in deep kimchi!
