With many people managing tight household budgets, paying “up front” for a three-month supply of prescription medication can be a challenge. In order to ease this burden, Express Scripts, Inc. (ESI), mail service pharmacy is now offering members the option to pay for their prescription orders over time through a program called Bill Me Later.

WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AS AN EMPLOYEE?
If you are currently enrolled in your employer-sponsored health plan and use ESI mail service pharmacy, you are now eligible for the Bill Me Later Option. Bill Me Later is a third-party payment option with no service charge or annual fee and “zero fraud liability” protection. Members can enjoy benefits including:

• “No Payments for 90 Days” for orders of $150 or more.
• A 25-day grace period before finance charges are assessed for orders costing less than $150.
• No interest for qualifying customers whose balance is paid in full within the promotional period.
