| Ashland County perscription Drug Card County residents can call toll free 1-877-321-2652 or visit https://naco.advancerx.com for assistance with the program. |
Ashland County Launches Prescription Drug Discount Card That Can Be Used by All Residents Discount Cards Offering Average Savings Of 20 Percent Off Retail Price Ashland 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 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, and are accepted at 80 percent of the county's pharmacies. A national network of more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription discount card. "Ashland County is proud to be one of many counties nationwide participating with NACo in this program." said County Commissioner Mike Welch. "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." The Prescription Drug Discount Cards will be available at the Ashland County Commissioners' Office at 110 Cottage Street, Ashland, Ohio, and at the Ashland County Department of Job and Family Services, located at 15 West 4th Street, Ashland, Ohio. Members of the Ministerial Association will also have the Prescription Drug Discount Cards available, as well as many health physicians' offices in Ashland County. The Prescription Drug Discount Cards can be used at: CVS Pharmacy Rite Aid
Pharmacy Glasgos Drugs Inc. "Using the NACo prescription discount card is easy," said County Commissioner Mike Welch. "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 AdvancePCS, a division of Caremark Rx, Inc. of Nashville, Tennessee. The National Association of Counties (NACo)
is a full-service organization that provides legislative, research,
technical and public affairs assistance to county governments.
Created in 1935, NACo continues to ensure that the nation's 3,066
counties are heard and understood in the White House and Congress. |
