As we continue into a new year, the Weld County Board of Commissioners would like to remind all Weld County residents about the free prescription discount card provided by National Association of Counties (NACo). The discount card may be used by all county residents regardless of age, income or existing health coverage. Cardholders and their family members may present the card when picking up a prescription to receive the lowest possible price. There are no restrictions or limits on how many times you may use the card, and residents can start using it immediately.
Since the start of the program in September 2011, the discount card has saved Weld County residents more than $56,000 on prescription medication. On average, residents have received a 24% saving off retail price prescriptions.
“ The NACo prescription discount card is a great program, and we hope more residents take advantage of it,” said Commissioner Chair Mike Freeman. “Regardless of insurance coverage or not, this card can save you money.”
Weld County residents can print a discount card online at www.nacorx.org or pick one up at either the Weld County Administrative Building located at 1150 O St., Greeley, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or the Weld County Health Department located at 1555 N. 17th Avenue in Greeley, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
