Diversified Pharmaceutical Services (DPS) grew out of the pharmacy department within United Healthcare.[2]
The company was sold to SmithKline Beecham for $2.3 billion in May 1994.[3] In 1999, it was acquired by Express Scripts in 1999 for $700 million in cash to create what was then the third largest pharmacy benefit manager in the United States.[1]
