Get Discounts in Your Prescriptions!
 
Edgecombe County participates in the National Association of Counties' Prescription Discount Program.  This Program provides a prescription discount card for NACo member counties to offer to their residents who are uninsured or underinsured.  The NACo Prescription Discount Card Program provides savings by passing along negotiated discount rates to individuals with little or no prescription benefit coverage. You can save an average of 24% off of the full retail cost of prescription medications that are not covered under a traditional insurance plan, as well as some diabetic supplies.  There is no cost to NACo member counties or their residents to participate in the program.  The NACo Prescription Discount Card Program offers real value, easy access, a large national pharmacy network of more than 60,000 pharmacies, and excellent customer support. 

Visit www.caremark.com/naco to look up a participating pharmacy, get a price estimate for your prescription, or check drug interactions.  You can even print your prescription discount card online for instant savings! For more information, call toll free 877/321-2652.
