Since the introduction of Clark County’s free prescription discount program in March 2010, county residents have filled 27,620 prescriptions with the cards at discounts averaging 26.7% or $43.77 per prescription. To date, county residents have saved a total of $322,166.19.
“We are pleased to see so many residents take advantage of this free program,” said Job & Family Services Director, Bob Suver. “Our residents can really see significant savings on their prescription medications simply by presenting this card. There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no
restrictions or limits.”
Clark County launched the program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescriptions. Through the program, the county is making the free prescription discount cards available through a partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo). The program, which is free to the county and to residents, offers an average savings of 26% off the retail price of commonly prescribed medications.
The cards may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income or existing health coverage, and are accepted at over 25 Clark County pharmacies. National networks of more than 60,000 participating retail pharmacies also honor the card. The card can be used on all prescriptions not covered by insurance, as well as on pet medications.
Residents can print an ID card at www.caremark.com/naco. Cards are also available at most Clark County pharmacies. County residents can call toll-free 1-877-321-2652 or visit www.caremark.com/naco for assistance with the program.
Clark County joined more than 1,400 counties across the country currently offering the NACo Prescription Discount Card Program to residents. Since the program’s inception, the participating counties have saved their residents more than $412.5 million on the cost of their prescriptions.
The program is administered by CVS Caremark.
