Wilson County to Offer Prescription Drug Discount Card The cards, which will be available May 15, may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage. Many of the pharmacies within the County will accept the NACo card, and a national network of more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor it. The NACo prescription discount card will offer savings for the uninsured and underinsured residents of our county, and even those fortunate to have prescription coverage may use the card to save money on drugs that are not covered by their health plan”, said Denise Stinagle, Assistant County Manager. Residents do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries to be eligible for this program. There will be no cost to county taxpayers for NACo and Wilson County to make these money-saving cards available to residents. A future announcement will specify how and when residents may obtain the cards. Using the NACo prescription discount card is easy, a cardholder will 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.
