This week, Medco released their mobile application that they’ve been working with Verizon on. Not a big secret in my mind since I’ve been hearing about it since last Fall. I’ve talked about CVS Caremark’s application (CVS mobile), Humana’s application, and CatalystRx’s application. So, this made me wonder why I hadn’t heard about one from Express Scripts. It seems unlikely that they wouldn’t have one.
There doesn’t seem to have been a lot of fanfare, but they launched one in March. Here’s a quick summary of it:
The new Express Rx mobile app works across multiple platforms, and is now available for a free download at both the Apple iPhone App Store and at the Android Market (simply search ‘Express Rx’). In addition, members using a Blackberry or other smartphone device with web browsing capability can access our mobile optimized website at http://m.esrx.com.
With our new mobile app and mobile optimized website, Express Scripts members will be able to securely access the following functions:
- Start Home Delivery – transfer available maintenance medications to the Express Scripts Pharmacy
- Order Refills – select and schedule prescriptions to be refilled from the Express Scripts Pharmacy
- Check Order Status – check to see if an Express Scripts Pharmacy order has shipped, the ship date and by what method
- Find a Pharmacy – locate a nearby retail pharmacy using the GPS technology built into a smartphone
- Drug Information – access Drug Digest database to look up drug information, common uses and possible side effects
The app consists of three features: My Rx Choices, which delivers on-demand, personalized out-of-pocket costs, interactions and other information for any prescription drug; My Medicine Cabinet, which allows patients to view the medications they’re on, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and set reminders for themselves; and Prescription ID Card, which allows convenient access to a member’s prescription drug card.
- Refill mail service pharmacy prescriptions
- View your prescription history
- Set up text message medication reminders
- Check the status of and track orders
- Locate a pharmacy by ZIP Code
- Search your formulary by generic or brand name drug, status, or class

Another one that I didn’t mention is Target pharmacy’s mobile application – http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/page.jsp?title=pharmacy_mobile_pharmacy&ref=nav_phrm_1_5
