  I am taking a specialty medication that has to be ordered through an online supplier. Every month, in speaking with the ***resentatives, I confirmed a -0- balance due to co-pay assistance. I suddenly receive a bill dated June 15 for $771.50 for medication received in May. I called and spoke with a ***resentative who first suggested I speak with my insurance provider. I did and relayed the conversation back to Accredo. The Accredo *** then gave me a couple of numbers to call for additional co-pay assistance, which I did, but no funds were available. Now, I am being told that there is nothing they can do, I must pay the balance. I have dealt with the company for a few years now in helping a family member with their medication and they have always confirmed for me any balance due prior to shipment. Now I am being told that they can not do that and whatever the bill, it is my responsibility after the fact. I know I am not alone in saying people can not afford to do this. Thankfully I got my next shipment stopped because they told me AHEAD of time that it was going to be over $5,000....so apparently they can tell you sometimes but not others??? This is unacceptable!

  We have been using express scripts through our ***************** for our sons medication so that we can obtain a 3 month supply, vs the one month supply we can get locally. **** does not deliver to our home - only ********** After over 10 calls to express scripts over the past 6 months (two deliveries), both pro active and reactive, we are still without medications on time. Although there have been countless assurances that our delivery method is correct and they know our child is running out of medications, they continue to have several errors per delivery and cannot tell me why. The latest delivery was to arrive 7/11/25, via **** It is 7/14/25 and I just received a text saying that it was shipped via **** today, which will not reach us. My son is suffering and I cannot get anyone with the ability to remedy the issue on the phone who actually understands and makes effective change.

  Accredo is my specialty pharmacy, partnered with another company called Express Scripts. I'm filing a billing complaint against Accredo. Every time I order my medication, I get a paper bill. When I log in to pay, it says I owe $0, yet I know I owe money!! When I call billing, every *** says the same thing: "Disregard the bill." *** I DO owe. I owe Accredo money and have a credit under $76 with Express Scripts. On 5/16/25, I spoke to McKayla, who said she could only see my balances by reviewing each date of service and looking at the specifics of each date. She claimed her team lead submitted a request to transfer my $76 credit from Express Scripts to Accredo, which would take 12 days. It never happened!!!I called again on 6/4/25same answer: wait 2 more business days. Still NOTHING.Called again 7/2/25spoke with ******, who escalated it. She promised someone from billing would call me in 2 days because they have to review each claim. Call reference #*******. I checked again 7/14/25still no fix.I want Accredo to correct my account! Im no longer asking for the credit to be transferred. I just want to pay what I owe. *** your ***s say they cant accept a payment unless a balance is showing, even though they can see I owe money when looking into the individual claims.This is beyond frustrating. I NEED my medication, but these billing issues make me hesitant to request refills. I expect resolution by 7/31/25. Ive been calling since April. Three months is more than enough time. I want a phone call confirming this is resolved and a full breakdown of my balance.I'm attaching a sample bill with notes from calls. This is only one date of service, there are more!!!

  On 3 different occasions, most recent denials on the medication case opened on 6/26/25 and 07/09/25:My 14-year-old daughter was denied coverage for the prescription medication ********, even after her physician submitted documentation of medical necessity. The reason given was that she is under 16. This appears to be a blanket age-based policy and not based on her individual medical needs. We believe this may constitute age-based discrimination under Section 1557 of the ****** a PPO insured consumer, I pay my Bo-weekly deductions and do not agree that a 3rd party has a right to deny my child the medical care needed.

  I am requesting my medication be ordered. I have a valid insurance, prescription, prior authorization etc. and the pharmacy refuses to dispense my medication. I am over a month due for my treatment and if I do not receive it timely it causes medical issues in addition to sever emotional distress.

  I often get automated calls asking me for personal information. They have some information about a prescription of mine. And before they give me that information, they want me to confirm my identity. That involves giving them personal information. In this day in age, with all the scams out there, that is ridiculous. How can they possibly expect us to talk to an AI Voice and give personal information? I surprised anyone cooperates with this. I believe they need to STOP this behavior. Call me or send me an email or text with the information would work just fine.

  I carry ******** Supp and Part D insurances through *****. Beginning in April ***** called and mailed numerous solicitations to transfer my pharmacy to ExpressScript (ES). I did so, but from the start, have had difficulties with the service and no effective redress: slow shipping of meds, poorly disclosed requirements for customers to maintain their own "bridge" supply of meds, "sludgy" customer service lines (agents cannot access records outside business hours, then have no authority and no desire to help customer resolve a concern), erroneous holds on prescription refills, rescheduled delivery dates, and no mechanism to help customers resolve routine problems like running out of a prescription.

  I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: I received a voice message on my home phone from "******" at Express Scripts approximately 2 weeks ago. I returned the call and was told that "******" was out of the office, but I was invited to leave a message and call back number. I did so, leaving my mobile number. Yesterday I received another voice message on my home phone, with an invitation to call "******." I have been in meetings all morning, and have been unable to return the call. 
  
  Express Scripts has no good faith basis to believe that the concern is resolved.

  I accept the business' resolution, but request that BBB note for its files that I continue to be concerned that the business is marketing its services in a deceptive way to elderly persons, and believe that the advertising practices of the business should be monitored by BBB, consumer advocates and industry regulators.

  I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding this pharmacy's recent attempt to charge me for a copay amount that should be fully covered under a copay assistance program for my prescribed medication (Nemluvio).According to the copay assistance programs terms, your pharmacy is required to bill on a monthly basis. However, you improperly billed for a full 90-day supply, which led to a rejection or delay in coverage. Despite being made aware of this error, your pharmacy has failed to adjust the billing method to align with the programs requirements.When I contacted your office today to resolve this issue, I was told to call the copay assistance program myself. I followed your instructions and spoke directly with the copay assistance program. They clearly stated that it is your responsibilitynot mineto contact them and coordinate billing corrections, as patients have no control over how a pharmacy submits claims.Your refusal to engage with the copay assistance program to correct your billing error is unacceptable. Furthermore, during my call today, after it became clear that your representative could not understand the issue, my call was abruptly disconnectedthis is not only unprofessional but deeply frustrating and inappropriate.I want to make it clear that I should not be held financially responsible for a mistake that lies solely with your billing practices. I request that you:Immediately contact the copay assistance program to rectify the billing issue.Re-bill the medication correctly in accordance with the programs requirements.Remove any outstanding balance from my account related to this billing error.Please consider this a formal notice that I dispute any copay amount you are attempting to charge in connection with this issue. I expect confirmation in writing that the billing has been corrected and that I will not be held responsible for any portion of the cost that should have been covered.

  I ordered Specially medication as I have done on previous months at no charge after applying the SavonSP program and the manufacturer savings card. This time Express Scripts placed an hold on my account even though they dont have the authority. I called then multiple times and they can not fix their mistake. My account is overdrawn and already being charged $150.00. This is illegal this is incompetence and wrong. I will take legal action if necessary. This is not a legal practice and they must pay for their acts.

  We have had a terrible experience with Accredo Specialty Pharmacy. Despite 5+ calls with their billing and customer service departments, we continue to not have our problem resolved. First, they did not have both of my daughters insurances listed, and therefore didnt bill them. Despite her prescription from the provider listing both insurances. I called and they added her secondary. We get another bill, so I call back. Apparently, they added the insurance incorrectly, switched her primary and secondary, and all claims were denied. They supposedly fixed it. Then comes another bill, with an even higher balance. Call back and they said they put in incorrect effective date. Had to call and ask them to fix that. Finally, it seems like everything is fixed, and imputed correctly, so I call to ask them to resubmit all the claims from 2025, as they directed me to, and now theyre saying theyre not contracted with her secondary insurance. This has been going on since September 2024, we currently have an (incorrect) balance of $5700 and just now, after speaking with them for months and months, 5-10 times, minimum, now theyre saying they dont work with my daughters insurance. I have talked to multiple representatives, always being transferred between departments. Many of the representatives are very difficult to understand, and there is often times a lot of background noise. We have never had a worse experience with a healthcare provider than we have had with Accredo. And throughout all of these issues, despite continually telling us its being taken care of, it has not been, and they continue to send us bills and late notices.
