Free drug discount cards for Carrboro residents

Posted on April 7, 2011April 7, 2011 by Fernlane

The Town of Carrboro is now making free prescription discount cards available to residents through a program sponsored by the National League of Cities (NLC) and administered by CVS Caremark. The cards offer residents average savings of 20 percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed medications.
All residents of Carrboro may use the discount cards; there are no restrictions based on age, income level or existing health coverage. The cards benefit not only those without insurance, but can also be used by underinsured residents to obtain prescriptions that are excluded from health-benefit plans. The NLC card can be used when purchasing prescription drugs at approximately 15 pharmacies around town and more than 60,000 participating retail pharmacies across the country.
Cards can be printed from the Internet at caremark.com/nlc and are available at Town Hall, Fire Stations #1 and #2 and the Carrboro Century Center at no cost to residents. Additional locations for card pick-up are being planned. For more information, go to caremark.com/nlc or call toll-free (888) 620-1749. – Staff Reports
