History

Established in 2008.

Surescripts is the result of a 2008 merger between the country’s two leading health information networks: RxHub and Surescripts. RxHub was founded in 2001 by the nation’s three largest PBMs — CVS Caremark Corporation, Express Scripts, Inc. and Medco Health Solutions, Inc. Surescripts was also formed in 2001 by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) and the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA).
