John Curry: HC Questions at STRS and Express Scripts settlement

Subject: RE: HC Questions at STRS and Express Scripts settlement

Mr. Curry:

Thank you for your inquiry.

The State of Ohio will receive approximately $410,000 as its share of the $9.3 million total settlement. How these monies can be accessed or utilized is still being determined.

Nationally, there is an additional $200,000 available for all individuals that were impacted. Affected consumers identified by Express Scripts may be eligible for up to a $25 reimbursement if all eligibility requirements are met.

There is only a remote chance that any STRS Ohio enrollees have been impacted. If any STRS Ohio enrollees are identified as being impacted, Express Scripts will notify those individuals directly by mail with instructions on how to seek reimbursement. As of May 29, 2008, Express Scripts has not informed STRS Ohio of any enrollees that are impacted by this settlement.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Michelle Jump
STRS Ohio
