Meade County Provides Prescription Discount Card

Meade County Provides Prescription Discount Card That Can Be Used by All Residents  

Discount Cards Offering Average Savings Of 22 Percent Off Retail Price

Meade County provides a 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 22 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, and are accepted at three county pharmacies. A national network of more than 60,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription discount card.

The NACo prescription discount card offers significant savings for the uninsured and underinsured residents of our county, and even those fortunate to have prescription coverage can use the card to save money on medications that are not covered by their health plan. Best of all, there is no cost to county taxpayers for NACo and Meade County to make these money saving cards available to our residents.

Residents can visit www.caremark.com/naco to print an ID card and use it immediately at any participating pharmacy. Cards will also be available at Meade County Human Resources office. County residents can call toll free 1-877-321-2652 or visit www.caremark.com/naco for assistance with the program.

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

The program is administered by CVS Caremark.
