EVERNORTH CONTROL CENTER

A new way to stay informed and up to date

We’re expanding how we share member experience updates through Evernorth Control Center so you can access timely information in one place. This includes regular news and insights, targeted inbox messages and a dedicated space within the Solution Center.
 
We’ve also created a resource that consolidates key materials—including the member video hub, newsletter, articles and member communications library—into one place for easier access. If you don’t have a decision-maker with access, please contact your account representative.

ELIGIBILITY FILE

Expanding member communications beyond the welcome email

We’re exploring new ways to use the eligibility file you provide—which includes member information like name and email address—beyond the single welcome email we’re authorized to send today. 

This approach would enable additional email outreach to encourage members to register for a digital account and set their communication preferences. More details will be shared soon, including any potential enrollment requirements to participate.

With this new approach, we can:

Accelerate digital member registration.

Reduce the effort required on your end to promote digital registration.

Increase ongoing use of the website and mobile app to keep members engaged beyond registration and throughout their journey.

Share more relevant and timely information directly with members who sign up with their preferred email. 

Help ensure registered members don’t miss critical email-only updates (e.g., prior authorization “What to Expect” emails).

EVERNORTH DIGITAL HEALTH FORMULARY

Expand awareness of the digital health solutions you’ve selected

Starting July 1, members enrolled in applicable plans will see new inbox and contextual messages when logged in to the Express Scripts account highlighting the Digital Health Formulary (DHF) vendors you’ve chosen. No action is needed and these messages will be sent out to applicable members.
 
These touchpoints are designed to increase awareness and help members better understand their digital health benefits.

INSIGHTS AND IMPROVEMENTS

Using insights to continuously raise the bar

We regularly analyze data to identify where we’re doing well and where we have opportunities. By tracking data over time, we see measurable improvements and apply those learnings to the future—ensuring we’re always getting better for members. Here are two examples:

Greater clarity and confidence around PAs

Our prior authorization “What to Expect” email, real-time tracker, and expiration notifications give members clearer visibility into the process and what comes next.1

Starting this summer, we’re expanding PA outreach to include texts to members who have opted in. Together, we’re making benefits easier to understand and simpler to use, while reducing friction for members.

Meaningful progress in member sentiment

Improvements in access, cost transparency, and support experiences made it easier for members to manage medications, reduced unexpected issues, and strengthened confidence in their pharmacy experience. Year-over-year results show meaningful gains in member sentiment and willingness to recommend our services.

We’ll continue building trust and enhancing the overall member experience, and will share ongoing insights over time.

ai chatbot

The phased rollout for our automated chat support

As shared in our April newsletter, access to the AI-powered chat bot* will roll out gradually beginning in Q2 2026, with full capabilities available by Q4 2026. Throughout the year, as the AI chat expands to answer more questions and is introduced across more pages and experiences, members will be able to access it directly within those areas—enabling them to ask questions and get support exactly when they need it.*

View our April newsletter to see enrollment by business line and the different AI chat capabilities.

Supporting new members from day one

A new welcome letter will be mailed to first‑time consumer-directed and high-deductible health plan enrollees to help them understand how their plan works. Provided at no additional cost, this letter is designed to educate, empower and reduce confusion early in the member journey.

Digital Experience Update

We strive to make the digital experience easy, simple and intuitive for members. As part of that effort, the Express Scripts website and mobile app will update in Q3, delivering a cleaner design, improved navigation and modern, cohesive experience. This update will make it easier for members to understand their options and have confidence in next steps.

The update will launch automatically, so there’s nothing needed on your end. Discover more details and get a first look at the enhanced experience in an upcoming Member Experience Insights Newsletter.
