Does anyone take advantage of Walgreens being in network for medication fills (or do you plan to)?

I have and they are ok. I preferred Target Pharmacy until they converted to CVS :( I now use the Pharmacy at COSTCO. They have been great so far.

I do! I used CVS until Tricare changed that game on me. Walgreens is much more inconvenient location-wise for me, but their customer service has been great since I switched.

My wife and I use a combination or Express Scripts AKA, pharma by mail...and here in Texas the pharmacy at our local HEB grocery store.
I have nothing more to ask of my pharmacy, so no need to change.... If I was traveling monthly and need a national chain to get meds from, perhaps Id choose a different source...

BTW, if you have not tried Express Scripts..DO SO..Its convenient, cheaper, and you get a 90 day supply of reoccurring meds (other then narcotics) shipped to your mail box.

Since they're 90+ miles away, no. BTW, check and see what they charge vs. Express Scripts. Stores want to charge me $52 for which Express charges nothing for one of my meds. I pay zero for my stuff and only half of it would be zero at the pharmacies.

I've been using SavOn drugs for far too long, and Walgreens is farther away... Glad they returned to the network, though...

Yes I do. So far I have not had any issues with them. I had a smooth transition with them when my records transferred from CVS Pharmacy to them.

Because I'm 70% disabled, I get all of my meds for free through the VA I have no reason to use Walgreens

Not since Tricare dropped Walgreens last month.

I get my meds from the VA. But I am very glad to see Walgreens actively supporting our vets.
