However, the program will continue to offer discounts on some generic medications, capping costs at $25 for a 30day supply. for eligible consumers who pay 100% out of pocket through the end of 2021. This is not health insurance. Express Scripts created this limited-time program through its close partnerships with manufacturers and retail pharmacies across the country. Parachute Rx is available exclusively from Express Scripts and is administered by Inside Rx, our subsidiary that specializes in prescription drug discount programs for self-paying consumers.

Express Scripts, along with pharmaceutical manufacturers and participating pharmacies across the country, recognize that Americans who became unemployed and uninsured due to the COVID-19 pandemic faced concerns regarding affordable medications for themselves and their families. We came together to create this extraordinary program during this extraordinary time to help people continue access to prescription medications that have prices which are more affordable and predictable.

It wasn’t easy, but we have marshaled every resource available to soften the landing for people who have found their lives upended by this pandemic, so they come out the other side healthy and strong.

This is a benevolent program to help people who have become uninsured as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not something that would be sustainable for participating organizations long term. This disruption of work is temporary in our country, and we hope to keep rebounding quickly, returning to work safely and back to normal. Employers will need a healthy workforce returning to them, and we will keep doing our part to ensure that happens.

b. Ask your local pharmacist if Parachute Rx discounts are available for your generic prescription.
