City Participating in Prescription Cost Reduction Program Available to all Residents
The City of Edwardsville, Kansas has a new program which offers
savings on prescription drugs to residents who are without health
insurance, a traditional benefits plan, or have prescriptions that are
not covered by insurance.
The Prescription Discount Card is made available to residents of
Edwardsville in collaboration with the National League of Cities (NLC)
and is made possible through Edwardsville’s membership in the
NLC.
The card is free to all Edwardsville residents, regardless of age,
income, or existing health insurance. Benefits of the program include
an average savings of 20 percent off the regular retail price of
prescription drugs, coverage of all family members, and unlimited
usage. Furthermore, nine out of ten pharmacies accept the discount
card, including major pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart.
Local pharmacies, including Millers, also typically accept the
card.
Visit http://www.caremark.com/nlc/ to
print your card and learn more about the discount program including
information regarding drug savings and participating pharmacies. Or,
for more information, call toll free: 1-888-620-1749.
In addition to being printed electronically, the cards are also
available for pick up at City Hall and various locations throughout
Edwardsville.
This card is not insurance and cannot be used in conjunction
with other insurance. It provides discounts on prescriptions that
insurance companies do not cover. Discounts are only available at
participating pharmacies and not on all medications. By using this
card, participants agree to pay the entire prescription cost less any
applicable discount. Savings may vary by drug and
pharmacy.
For more information you may contact Jacqueline Schwerm, administrative
intern, at jschwerm@edwardsvilleks.org.
