Greater North County Chamber Business Showcase & Family Fair: Prescription Drug Card Offered

Residents of Greater North County, and the surrounding communities, now have access to free discount prescription drug cards compliments of the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce. The card is a Missouri drug card funded by the federal government in a partnership with local chambers of commerce.

The Greater North County Rx Card will provide savings of up to 75 percent on prescription drugs, and is accepted at over at over 50,000 pharmacies across the country. Anyone interested in obtaining a prescription card can attend the Business Showcase & Family Fair on March 6 or visit the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce Web site at www.greaternorthcountychamber.com.

The Greater North County Rx Card has no restrictions to membership, no income or age limitations, and residents are not required to fill out an application. The Greater North County Rx Card was launched to help uninsured and underinsured residents of Greater North County afford their prescription medications. However, the program can also be used by people who have health insurance coverage with no prescription benefits, which is common in many health savings accounts (HSA) and high deductible health plans. Additionally, people who have prescription coverage can use this program for non-formulary or non-covered drugs.

The Greater North County Rx Card is a solution to the confusing maze of prescription programs that have appeared in recent years, said a chamber spokesperson. Many of these programs only cover certain drugs, charge fees, and some have membership restrictions such as age and income limitations. You can download a free card and
