AllianceRx Walgreens to become exclusive specialty drug pharmacy for MESSA, starting July 1, 2024

AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy will become the exclusive specialty drug network for the Michigan Education Special Services Association, known as MESSA, starting July 1, 2024.

MESSA members who take a specialty drug have been directed to transfer their specialty medication to AllianceRx Walgreens. If you have patients who don’t currently fill their specialty drugs with AllianceRx Walgreens, you’ll need to transfer their prescriptions to AllianceRx Walgreens before July 1, 2024. If MESSA members fill their specialty medication through a different pharmacy, beginning July 1, 2024, they may be responsible for the full cost of the drug.

Note: On Aug. 1, 2024, AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy will change its name to Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy.
