The Somerset County Commissioners are pleased to announce a prescription 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 an average saving of 20% off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs. The discount card program is administered by Caremark Rx, Inc.

 

·         The card may be used by all Somerset County residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage.

·         There is no enrollment form, no membership fee, and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. It may be used any time a prescription is not covered by insurance.

·         There is an average savings of 20%, depending on the drug and the quantity purchased.

·         Cardholders can save on pet prescriptions at participating retail pharmacies.

·         You may pick up a card at participating pharmacies, Somerset County Senior Centers, or the Somerset County Commissioners’ office.

·         The Somerset County Prescription Discount Card is accepted at 16 County pharmacies.
