Leon County Board of County Commissioners introduces the free prescription discount
card to assist Leon County residents with the high price of prescriptions. The free
prescription drug discount card is available under a program sponsored by the National
Association of Counties (NACo) that offers average savings up to 24 percent off the
retail price of commonly prescribed drugs. There is no cost to County taxpayers for NACo
and Leon County to make these money-saving cards available to all residents.
There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no restrictions or limits on
frequency of use. The card may be used by all County residents regardless of age,
income, or existing health coverage. County residents who have prescription coverage can
save money by using the card for drugs that their health plan doesn’t cover. The program
is especially beneficial for people who are underinsured or uninsured. Residents do not
have to be in the Medicare program to participate.
Cardholders and their family members simply present the card at a participating pharmacy
any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance. More than 40 of Leon County’s
pharmacies accept the free prescription discount card, and a national network of more
than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies will also honor it.
In addition to these benefits, pet owners may also reap the benefits of the free
prescription discount card. If your pet has been prescribed a medication, you may
receive a discount on the medication by taking the prescription to a participating
retail pharmacy.
