This email is meant to provide background details, possible impact, and communication information regarding the intent of Kroger to terminate their agreement for network participation with ESI effective 1/1/2023.
Background Kroger has announced that they will terminate their master services agreement for network participation with Express Scripts effective 1/1/23. Discussions between the parties continue, however if an agreement is not reached by December 29, 2022, Kroger will no longer be part of any Express Scripts pharmacy network in 2023. We are proceeding as if the contract will be terminated, and will provide an update if that changes.
Impact & Communications Should the termination go through, this will impact members within Highmark's Commercial, ACA, and CHIP business. Impacted members will receive a mailing from Express Scripts that will go out 12/1/2022 notifying them of the potential change. Letters will be specific to each member and will provide alternative pharmacy solutions based on their geographical location.
