I need Accredo to send a paper claim to my prescription copay program as requested by the copay program. This has been going on since April. I have called numerous times assuming they would send the claim. As of today, October 7th, they still haven't been able to complete this. I can't refill my prescription because I can't afford it without the copay program. Therefore, I haven't been able to take my medication since April.Business Response

I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: Express Scripts are responding as if they resolved the issue. I did speak to someone today which was the first time I spoke to them since they hung up on me to complain. Only reason is because they said they were contacted by you (BBB).As I said to the Express Scripts *** was the issue was resolved. But only because I also made a complaint with my insurance company. To resolve the issue Priority Health made an order with Express Scripts for another 90 day supply and waived my co-pay.
In result Express Scripts did not do one thing to resolve nor did they even care to resolve this issue. If the same situation arises again. Im 100% positive Express Scripts would do the exact same thing which is hang up on me, do nothing and ignore the issue all together.
At the minimum Express Scripts should refund me the money ($40.00) I paid for a 90 day supply but only received a 30 day supply. Also a formal apology for the way I was treated and hung up on by their customer service ***resentative.

My doctor sent in the script for ****** and shortly after sending in the script, the doctor had decided to change me to revoke well after contactingthis company and letting them know I will not be on the ****** and to please cancel that script. This company continued for three months to send thousands and thousands of dollars worth of medication all while charging my insurance company for a medication that Im not even taking or on when ****** them to stop the company stated there was nothing that they can do to stop the medications from coming because theyre on an auto refill. I repeatedly ask the nurse on the phone to please remove my information from system in which she explained to me that she did not understand as I believe they wrote their calls out to somewhere in ******** so now I am stuck with thousands of dollars worth of medication that Im not even on that people are dying to be on and this company is just sending it out while charging my insurance company. This is why I am contacting the Better Business Bureau because this company needs to be thoroughly looked into.Business Response

I have a reoccuring problem every month when I contact Accredo for a billing statment on my account. I usually need to call back several times in order to finally get one successfully sent to me by email. Most of their call agents do not do it correctly or at all, therefore I have to waste a lot of my own personal time calling and dealing with dead ends. This process needs to be different as it affects my finances and getting medical reimbursements. Their should be an option to get an invoice yourself from the website portal. Calling multiple times to be lied to and told that an invoice will be sent in 'x amount of time' is misleading and unethical. Upper leadership neads to be aware of this problem and fix it.Business Response

I have called them roughly every 2 weeks since March about an outstanding balance. Every single time Im on the phone no less than 2 hours with multiple people at once (conference call) . And every single time Im promised someone from the company will be calling or emailing me to have my balance resolved. Which by the way, every single time theyve admitted the balance was due to them dropping the ball. A month ago one of their employees I spoke to on the phone for more than 2 hours, yet again, said she was emailing her higher up while I was on the phone with her and made it seem like she was speaking to the manager. She finally said she doesnt know who the manager is, and shed put it in the system to have them call me. Yeah, they never called. In fact, Ive been fighting them since March of this year (2025). At least 5 times theyve said theyd have a manager talk to me in 2-3 days. Yet there are no phone calls or emails. I dont know what else to do. They say I owe $4,000 and they have admitted time and again theyre at fault for it and it should be covered by them. Yet they do exactly zero follow through to see it resolved. Ive been without my medication since June! Now October I havent had it in 4 months! How is this acceptable?Business Response

This shows that ******** notified all parties that I had less than $1,000 October 9th, so when I placed an order Accredo should have know that I had no funds. I got this letter after the order was already placed.Customer Answer

Hello, I use ******** with copay assistance through ******** MyWay, and my prescription is filled through Accredo.A prescription fill from October 2024 was processed after my ******** copay card had reached its annual maximum. I was never notified because the email went to an old address that I no longer use. How do I owe $1,935.86 and not know it for 11 months?I am requesting that Accredo review this claim and, if possible, work with ******** MyWay to reverse or adjust the charge, since this was an administrative/notification error and not a missed payment on my part. The reason I qualified for the copay assistance was because I just graduated from college and am being asked to pay more than what is in my bank account. I am willing to return the product as well, I would not have agreed to fill the prescription if I knew the copay card was maxed out.I have updated my contact information since the wrong email was on file. Please let me know if you need any documentation (pharmacy statements, EOBs, etc.) to support this request. Thank you.Business Response

In January 2024, I purchased ****** through Accredo Pharmacy. The charges were successfully processed my insurance company and copay assistance program were billed, and I did not owe any balance. The same process occurred in March 2024 with no issues.However, I recently received notice in September 2025 more than 20 months later from a debt collector claiming that I owe $1,966.30 to Accredo for a February 2024 fill. According to the notice, Accredo failed to correctly apply the copay assistance at that time.This appears to be an administrative error by Accredo. My reasoning is straightforward: the January 2024 and March 2024 prescriptions were both billed properly with no balance due, and I had no reason to believe that February would be handled differently. At no point was I contacted about a billing issue until nearly two years later, when this debt collection notice arrived. I have spent the last two days on the phone with Accredo with no progress made. No supervisors are available to speak to me in the moment and have not called me back.I am seeking resolution to correct this billing error, remove the debt collection claim, and ensure my record is cleared of any balance that resulted from Accredos failure to properly bill copay assistance. I can't be held responsible for errors in their billing process.Business Response
