This free prescription discount card is available to residents in 47 states in a joint effort of your local county government and the National Association of Counties (NACo).  The discount card can be used at a participating retail pharmacy and can save you an average of 20% on your prescription medicine.  Nine out of ten pharmacies nationwide accept this card.   The discount card may be used any time your prescription is not covered by insurance.  There are no restrictions and no limits on how many times you can use this card. 

When I looked into this program for Cook County, Illinois, I discovered that many different counties across 47 states (excluding Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont) participate in this prescription discount program.  Be sure to checkout the NACo website to find out if your state/county participates in this free program.  This program targets the uninsured, and insured consumers where prescriptions are not covered by their insurance plan.
