Georgetown County is pleased to announce that it has reconnected with the National Association of Counties (NACo) Prescription Drug Discount Program, providing residents with another option to help reduce the cost of prescription medications.
The NACo Prescription Drug Discount Program is free to use, requires no enrollment, and is available to all residents, regardless of age, income, or insurance status. The program can be used at participating pharmacies nationwide and may offer savings on many commonly prescribed medications.
Residents may access the program in two ways:
- Printed discount cards, available at the Beck Recreation Center (2030 Church St., Georgetown) and the Bureau of Aging Services administrative office at the Howard Center (1610 Hawkins St., Georgetown)
- Online access, allowing residents to search medications and download or print a card from home
“This program offers an additional option for residents who may be struggling with rising prescription costs or who fall into coverage gaps,” said Beth Goodale, Director of Recreation & Community Services for Georgetown County. “We are pleased to make this resource easily available to our community.”
The NACo Prescription Drug Discount Program can be used instead of insurance when it provides a better price, but it cannot be combined with insurance or Medicare.
