(Reuters) -Kroger Health, a unit of grocer Kroger, said on Wednesday it has entered into a new agreement with Cigna’s Express Scripts, increasing access to prescription drugs at its pharmacies.
In 2022, the grocery retailer had sent Express Scripts a written notice of its plan to terminate their pharmacy provider agreement for commercial customers due to an “unsustainable” pricing model.
Under the new agreement, Kroger pharmacies will resume serving customers who are part of Express Scripts’ Medicare plans for prescription drugs and health plans for military members.
Additionally, members in Express Scripts’ commercial and government-backed Medicaid plans for low income individuals can add Kroger’s pharmacies to their respective networks.
