CuraScript, Inc. An Express Scripts Co. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Accredo (Express Scripts / Evernorth): Accredo is the specialty pharmacy of Express Scripts / Evernorth - CuraScript SD's parent. While Accredo is a specialty pharmacy (dispensing to patients), it sits within the same Evernorth specialty ecosystem and competes for specialty therapy fulfillment, often sourcing through CuraScript SD's distribution infrastructure.
- Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen): One of the 'Big 3' US drug wholesalers with a large specialty distribution franchise (US Bioservices, Lash Group). Directly competes with CuraScript SD in specialty injectables, infused medications and limited-distribution drugs across multiple therapeutic verticals.
- Option Care Health: Leading US provider of home and alternate-site infusion services, distributing specialty infused medications to providers and patients. Comparable to CuraScript SD's infusion provider offering and specialty injectables distribution to infusion practices.
- Cardinal Health Specialty: Specialty pharmaceutical distribution arm of Cardinal Health, distributing specialty drugs and providing related services (including Sonexus access and patient support). Overlaps with CuraScript SD's specialty distribution, oncology and rare disease offerings.
- McKesson Specialty Health: Direct competitor in US specialty pharmaceutical distribution. McKesson Specialty Health (and its Biologics by McKesson unit) distributes specialty injectables, infused medications, biologics and limited-distribution drugs to providers across oncology, rheumatology and other specialty verticals - directly overlapping CuraScript SD's core offering.
Emerging players
- Onco360: Specialty pharmacy focused on oncology and other complex specialty therapies. Smaller and more narrowly focused than CuraScript SD, but directly competes in oncology specialty distribution and patient access services - CuraScript's largest identified primary segment.
- PantherRx Rare Pharmacy: Specialty pharmacy focused on rare disease and orphan therapies. Directly overlaps with CuraScript SD's Rare Disease Specialty Distribution Program in handling limited-distribution orphan drugs for specialty providers.
Broad incumbents
- CVS Specialty (Caremark): CVS Health's specialty pharmacy operates inside the Caremark PBM. A broad incumbent competing in specialty drug fulfillment and distribution with CuraScript SD, integrated with a major PBM in similar fashion to CuraScript's Evernorth/Express Scripts positioning.
- Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy: Walgreens operates a major specialty pharmacy and distribution business serving patients with complex conditions. A broader incumbent that competes with CuraScript SD in specialty fulfillment and provider-facing services, though primarily retail-/patient-facing rather than provider-direct.
Others
- eviCore (Evernorth): eviCore is Evernorth's medical benefit management company, providing utilization management and prior authorization services. While not a direct distributor, it is part of the same Evernorth umbrella as CuraScript SD and shapes specialty drug utilization patterns that affect CuraScript's distribution volumes.
