After feuding with drug middlemen, startup fields a competitor
12 July 2018 - Blue Eagle Health manages a 33,000 pharmacy network for Blink.
Blink Health, a startup that helps patients shop for low-cost prescription drugs online, has helped set up a new pharmacy-benefit administration firm after big drugstore operators balked at filling orders placed through the service.
Blink said on Wednesday that it had partnered with former officials of Express Scripts Holding Co. to create Blue Eagle Health, which it characterised as an alternative to large pharmacy-benefit managers who have been criticised by the Trump administration for their role in driving up drug costs.
