RT Oncology Services Joins Express Scripts Pharmacy Network

RT Oncology Services Corporation today announced a three-year agreement with Express Scripts ESRX under which RainTree oncology practices with oral drug dispensing will become part of an expanded Express Scripts network of pharmacies. These RainTree practices will improve patient care by incorporating adherence programs and oncology pharmacy expertise from the Accredo specialty pharmacy, which will help drive better health outcomes for patients and better financial outcomes for payers. The agreement enables practices with the credentials and capabilities associated with RainTree membership to be a part of existing Express Scripts pharmacy networks. Access to the RainTree member pharmacies is a unique patient benefit at a time when many health plans are seeking to reduce the number of prescriptions filled within practice-owned pharmacies. Mike Martin, president and chief executive officer of RainTree, said, "This agreement with Express Scripts is exciting news for our company, our current and future member practices, and, most importantly, their patients. We believe that being a part of the Express Scripts pharmacy network is far and away the most attractive option See full press release
