Walgreens Savings Club Offer

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My husband has been a health insurance broker for the last six years, and at one point in our marriage I actually helped him out in the business making calls and handling paperwork.  I say that to let you know that I’m familiar with the way insurance companies, networks, providers, and pharmacies interact and found this story interesting.

Many of you may know that as of January 1, 2012, Walgreens and Express Script no longer have a working relationship with one another.  This is due to the fact that Walgreens was being asked by Express Scripts to unilaterally accept their terms, and Express Scripts felt Walgreens was not offering a big enough discount for being a provider.  This despite Walgreens keeping their rates exactly the same from the previous year.

Unfortunately, many customers are having to go elsewhere to fill their now, causing both confusion and frustration.  IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW may be affected by this, then you may want to consider the . For only $5/year per individual or $10/year per family, you’ll be able to get the following:

• Discounts on over 8000 brand name and generic
• Discounts on flu shots, pet supplies
• Bonuses when you buy Walgreens brand products and photofinishing services.

I know this may not apply to you, but if you think it may apply to a friend or family member, then encourage them to follow Walgreens on Twitter and follow  Walgreens on Facebook and  share this post with them so they can more fully appreciate what Walgreens is trying to do to help them.
