Free Prescription Discount CardThe City of Chicago has launched a new program created to help area
residents with the high cost of prescription medications. Sponsored by
the National League of Cities (NLC), the free Prescription Discount Card
program provides residents with a card that offers an average of 20
percent savings off the retail price of prescription medications.
The card can be used by those who do not have insurance or by those who
have prescriptions not covered by insurance. The card can also be used
on some pet medications and is accepted at 9 out of 10 pharmacies
throughout Chicago.
This card can be used for the entire family.
More than 59,000 pharmacies are participating nationwide.
<Here is an example of how the card will look>
