Fact Sheet Frequently Asked Questions Participating Pharmacies Card Locations

The Leon County Board of County Commissioners introduces a prescription discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescriptions. The County is making free prescription drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) that offers average savings of 20 percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs.

The cards may be used by all County residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage. More than 40 of the County’s pharmacies accept the prescription discount card, and a national network of more than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies will also honor it.

County residents who have prescription coverage can save money by using the card for drugs that their health plan doesn’t cover.  The program is especially beneficial for people who are underinsured or uninsured.  Residents do not have to be in the Medicare program to participate.

There will be no cost to County taxpayers for NACo and Leon County to make these money-saving cards available to residents.

There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use.  Cardholders and their family members simply present the card at a participating pharmacy any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance. 

In addition to these benefits, pet owners may also reap the benefits of the prescription discount cards. If your pet has been prescribed a medication, you may receive a discount on the medication by taking the prescription to a participating retail pharmacy.
