Fulton County Residents Save on Prescriptions Using Free Discount Card
May 21, 2008 · Print This Article
The Board of Commissioners’ Prescription Discount Drug Card saved Fulton County residents $348,326 in 2007. The free program saves 20 percent on prescription related health costs to residents of Fulton County.
“We are pleased with the amount of savings residents received last year,” says Dr. Kim Turner, Interim Director for the Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness. “It is our hope that people will continue to use the card and that more will participate in the program.”
It is important to note that the card is NOT insurance. Some discounts are greater than 20 percent and some are less, the discount depends on the drug and quantity being purchased. Resident cardholders can also save on pet prescriptions too. More than 57,000 pharmacies nationwide accept the card.
The card can be used by cardholders and their family members any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance.
Cards are available at the following County locations:
- Senior Centers
- Health Centers
- Public Libraries
- Health Fairs
- Community Health Centers
For more information and where to pick up a card, go to the Fulton County Health and Wellness website.
