For PBM's (they control your RX benefits for insurance companies) to also be a pharmacy is a huge conflict of interest. How it does not fall under antitrust laws is a surprise.

That being said, PillPack seem to be very small and was only supplying 1 out 25000 prescription fulfilled by Express Scripts [1] I also think PillPack didn't want to label itself an "online pharmacy" for branding reasons, since "online pharmacies" are usually though of as places where you buy viagras, etc. which is what express script is arguing [1]
