Kroger Health has entered into a new agreement with Express Scripts to expand prescription medication and health service access to Express Scripts customers. This partnership allows the Kroger Family of Pharmacies to immediately start serving Express Scripts' Medicare Part D and Tricare/Department of Defense plan members. The move comes as Kroger continues to strengthen its healthcare presence. The agreement notably increases the reach of Kroger's health services, potentially impacting more than 100 million people in the United States who are under Express Scripts plans, including commercial and Medicaid clients.
Kroger Health is a significant player in the retail healthcare sector, with over 2,200 pharmacies across 35 states and telehealth services through The Little Clinic in nine states. The company's healthcare team, numbering 24,000, delivers a range of services with an emphasis on the integration of food as a key component of health and wellness.
