Extended Payment Program for Long Term Medications
Paying for long-term medications
The Extended Payment Program from Express Scripts, Inc. can make it easier to pay for 90-day supplies* of
long-term prescription drugs when you order them through mail order. This program offers:
- Shipment of your full 90-day supply after the first payment
- The option of paying your cost-share** in three equal monthly installments
- Automatic charges to the credit or debit card*** of your choice
- A payment schedule provided with your first prescription order
- No additional “convenience” fee
Please note: Once selected, Express Scripts will apply the Extended Payment Program to all mail-order prescriptions for all covered members in your household.
To learn more about the Extended Payment Program, call the Rx Information number on your health plan member identification (ID) card or log in to My Health Plan at MedMutual.com/Member.

Please note:
- If you decide to cancel your participation, you will be responsible for paying all amounts due for your current prescriptions.

Example: Using the Extended Payment Program
A member’s cost share for a 90-day supply is $300

* The actual quantity and/or days’ supply may vary for each medication. Your doctor’s instructions on how to take the medication, state and federal dispensing guidelines, or how the medication is packaged may impact the quantity you can receive.
** Members with a high-deductible health plan can use the Extended Payment Program to divide the full discounted price of a medication over three equal payments until meeting their deductible.
