Hertford County Launches Prescription Drug Discount Card That Can Be Used by All Residents.
 Discount Cards Offering Average Savings Of 20 Percent Off Retail Price!

August 22, 2006 — Hertford County today launched a discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescription drugs. The 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 participating county pharmacies. A national network of more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription discount card.

“Hertford County is proud to be one of the counties nationwide participating with NACo” said Curtis A. Freeman, Chairman, Hertford County Board of Commissioners. “The NACo prescription discount card offers significant savings for the uninsured and underinsured residents of our county, and even those fortunate to have prescription coverage can use the card to save money on drugs that are not covered by their health plan. Residents do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries to be eligible for this program.”

Best of all, there is no cost to county taxpayers for NACo and Hertford County to make these money saving cards available to our residents.

Cards will be available at the Hertford County Manager’s Office in Winton, NC. County residents may call 252-358-7805 or toll free 1-877-321-2652 or visit https://naco.advancerx.com for assistance with the program.

“Using the NACo prescription discount card is easy,” said Curtis A. Freeman, Chairman, Hertford County Board of Commissioners. “Simply present it at a participating pharmacy. There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. Cardholders and their family members may use the card any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance.”

The discount card program is administered by Caremark Rx, Inc.

The National Association of Counties (NACo) is a full-service organization that provides legislative, research, technical and public affairs assistance to county governments. Created in 1935, NACo continues to ensure that the nation’s 3,066 counties are heard and understood in the White House and Congress.
