Prescription Discount Card

In March 2010, St. Mary's County began offering a prescription discount card program to help consumers cope with the high cost of prescriptions. To date, County residents have saved an average of $21.41 per prescription or 30 percent off the retail price.

The cards are easy to use; simply present the card to the participating pharmacy. There are no enrollment forms needed, no membership fees or limitations on frequency of use. Residents may use the card any time for prescriptions that are not covered by insurance.

The free discount cards are offered through a partnership with the National Association of Counties and CVS Caremark.

Cards are available at all St. Mary's County libraries, Senior Activity Centers and the Division of Human Services.
