NACo Prescription Drug Discount Cards

Cabarrus 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 90 percent of pharmacies in the county. A national network of more than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription discount card.

The NACo prescription discount card offers significant savings for the underinsured and uninsured residents of Cabarrus County. Even those who have prescription coverage can use the card to save money on drugs that are not covered by their health plan, including medications for pets. Residents do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries to be eligible for this program.

There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. County residents can pick up a card at a participating pharmacy and begin using it immediately. Cardholders and their family members may use the card any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance.

There is no cost to county taxpayers for NACo and Cabarrus County to make these prescription discount cards available to residents.
