Express Scripts had 2016 revenues of $100.752 billion. Since December 20, 2018, the company has been a subsidiary of Cigna.

  Headquartered in Greater St. Louis within unincorporated North St. Louis County, Missouri, Express Scripts provides integrated pharmacy benefit management services including network-pharmacy claims processing; home delivery pharmacy services; specialty pharmacy benefit management, through its subsidiary Accredo; benefit-design consultation; drug-utilization review; formulary management; and medical and drug data analysis services to manage drug plans for health plans, self-insured employers and government agencies.

  Express Scripts also offers pharmacy benefit management services for workers' compensation insurance programs.
context_section_description: Express Scripts is headquartered within Greater St. Louis in North St. Louis County, Missouri.
  In 2007, the company became the first and only Fortune 500 company to open a headquarters on a college campus when it opened its headquarters at 1 Express Way on the north edge of the University of Missouri–St. Louis north of University Place Drive and south of Interstate 70. A second headquarters building adjoining the original one opened in 2008. Three additional structures have been added to the NorthPark development on the north side of I-70 including an Office and Data Center, Tech and Innovation Center, and Operations Center. The area north of I-70 is separate from the university. In 2018 the majority of the 5,000 St. Louis Express Scripts employees work in the complex.
  Timothy Wentworth, CEO of Express Scripts at the time of the move, was an UMSL graduate. Express Scripts, which rather owns both its headquarters and nearby office buildings, received substantial tax breaks. Since the move the company has been an active partner with the university including contributing money to renovate the computer sciences building (Express Scripts Hall), raising funds for building projects, sponsoring a pre-collegiate bridge program for high school students and sponsoring a small business incubator.
  Express Scripts throughout its entire history has been in St. Louis County, Missouri rather than the City of St. Louis. It was originally headquartered in Maryland Heights, Missouri, and its current headquarters is about 4 miles west of the St. Louis city limits and its two building headquarters campus is actually spread across three jurisdictions. The entrance to the main building is located in Cool Valley, Missouri.  The southeast portion of the campus is in Bellerive, Missouri and the southwest corner of the two-building complex is in unincorporated St. Louis County. The three buildings north of I-70 are in Berkeley, Missouri.
