Some of the maintenance drugs can be expensive and Express Scripts does a good job of approval and not trying to overrule the doctors. This could be a problem for many that have a family member that needs expensive maintenance drugs.
He has told me that in general, they are difficult to deal with compared to Express Scripts, and his mail order meds sometimes arrive late- which never happened before.
For us, the nearest CVS is 25 miles away.
As for Aetna, depending on the state, you might be able to keep it. According to the map on the company web site, your state of residence will decide which carrier you use- no choice either Aetna or BCBS.
Hopefully, I am wrong about this but the map seemed pretty clear.
