Express Scripts Parachute Rx Administered by Inside Rx

Express Scripts Parachute Rx℠ is an extraordinary prescription discount program for these extraordinary times. It provides Americans who are newly uninsured with access to affordable and predictable prices on select generic and brand-name medications.

Express Scripts Parachute Rx offers deep discounts on some prescription medications, capping costs at $25 for a 30-day supply of generics, and $75 for a 30-day supply of brand-name medications for eligible consumers who pay 100% out of pocket for medications because of their uninsured status. 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 are newly unemployed and uninsured face growing concerns that they may no longer be able to afford medications for themselves and their families. We came together to create an extraordinary program for this extraordinary time to help people continue their access to prescription medications that have prices which are more affordable and predictable.

It’s not easy, but we are marshalling every resource available to soften the landing for people who find 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 become uninsured as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not something that would be sustainable for the participating organizations for the long term. Additionally, we believe our country is experiencing a temporary disruption of work, and that we will rebound quickly when we are able to safely return to normal. Employers will need a healthy workforce returning to them, and we want to do our part to help ensure that happens.
