The NACo Prescription & Health Discount Program provides relief to uninsured and underinsured Americans who face high prescription and health costs. The program is free to NACo member counties and it has been offering real savings to county residents across the country since 2004. Gila County has participated since 2009.
The Prescription & Health Discount Program, which is administered by CVS Caremark, includes discounts on prescriptions, vision care, LASIK & PRK vision procedures, hearing aids & screenings, prepaid lab work, prepaid diagnostic imaging and diabetic supplies. A resident can begin saving on prescriptions as soon as he/she receives a free prescription discount card. To add additional health services, memberships are available on a monthly or annual subscription basis for both individuals and families and discounts are available immediately upon enrollment. For individuals, the fee is $6.95 a month or $69 a year. For families, the fee is $8.95 a month or $79 a year.
The NACo Prescription Discount Card program helps residents save money on their prescription medications any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance. The free cards are distributed in the sponsoring county and may be used at any participating retail pharmacy. County residents can also print a card from the Internet. The discount card is not insurance.
Average savings are 24%; some discounts may be more, and some less, depending on the drug and quantity purchased. Cardholders may save on pet prescriptions also used to treat human conditions at participating pharmacies.
The cards may be used by all county residents regardless of age, income or existing health coverage. 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.
