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.
