Sheboygan County has launched a discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescription drugs. 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 22 pharmacies throughout the county. A national network of more than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription discount card.
“Sheboygan County is proud to be one of the counties nationwide participating with NACo”, said County Board Chairman Mike Vandersteen. “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 drugs that are not covered by their health plan. Residents do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries to be eligible for this program.”
Best of all, there is no cost to county taxpayers for NACo and Sheboygan County to make these money saving cards available to our residents.
“Using the NACo prescription discount card is easy”, said County Board Chairman Mike Vandersteen. “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 discount card program is administered by CVS Caremark.
