Washington County, Virginia launched a prescription discount card program today.
The program is sponsored by the National Association of counties.
According to the county supervisor, the discount program offers an average savings of 22 percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs.
Cards may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income or existing health coverage.
“Medicare beneficiaries can use the card, and so can insured people, in cases where a prescription drug is not covered. Best of all, there is no cost to county taxpayers for NACo and Washington County to make these money saving cards available to our residents,” said Washington County Supervisor Nicole Price. .
According to county officials, 60,000 pharmacies nationwide, including most pharmacies in Washington County, will accept the cards.
Residents can visit www.washcova.com to print an ID card and use it immediately at any participating pharmacy. Cards will also be available at participating pharmacies and at many county offices, including the Health Department, Department of Social Services, the Circuit Court Clerk’s Office and all Washington County Public Library branches. County residents can call toll free 1-877-321-2652 for assistance with the program.
