Express Scripts offers support, incentives to rural independent pharmacies

Express Scripts is rolling out new programs that aim to better support independent pharmacies in rural areas, Fierce Healthcare reports. The PBM said it will boost reimbursement to independent pharmacies that are the only location within 10 or more miles of an Express Scripts customer. This includes growing incentive-based programs that pay for performance, such as when a pharmacy dispenses 90-day prescriptions to improve medication adherence.
