Pharmacy-benefit manager Express Scripts said Tuesday several of its customers have received letters threatening to expose patients’ records.

The announcement comes less than a week after the company disclosed it is the target of an anonymous extortion threat.

Express Scripts said the new letters were received by several clients in recent days and are similar to the letter it first received. That letter included personal information on 75 people covered by Express Scripts, including birth dates, social security numbers and prescription information. The sender demanded money from the company, under the threat of exposing records of millions of patients.

The company said it has turned the new letters over to federal investigators.

Express Scripts manages prescription benefits for roughly 50 million people through thousands of clients, including health insurers, employers and union-sponsored health plans payday advance services.

The company said Tuesday it also would pay a $1 million reward to anyone would could provide information leading to the arrest of the people making the threats.

"We are cooperating fully with the FBI to assist them in their investigation and doing what we can to protect our members," said Express Scripts Chief Executive George Paz. "We hope that establishing a reward will bring forward useful information."
