* The statistic includes members with
commercial insurance coverage. Members used Express Scripts for retail
and home delivery pharmacy services; they used Accredo, the Express Scripts
specialty pharmacy, for specialty drug prescriptions.
PMPY metrics are calculated by dividing totals by
the total number of member-months, which is determined by adding the number
of months of eligibility for all members in the sample.
