Local United Way Offers Prescription Drug Discount Card

From the Tennessean:

Several local United Way agencies have partnered with a nationwide prescription discount program to allow people without prescription coverage to save money on medications. When the discount card is presented at participating pharmacies, the customer will get the cheapest cost available for the prescription. United Ways in 35 Tennessee counties have joined the program, dubbed FamilyWize, and several of the counties are in Middle Tennessee – Davidson, Williamson, Sumner and Wilson.

Carole King, spokeswoman for the Nashville United Way, said about four out of 10 Americans struggle to afford their medicine, skip their medications or reduce their dosages because they can’t afford it.

The discount prescription program is designed to help people who may not qualify for CoverRx, the state prescription assistance plan, or other aid.
“The card helps cover prescription medication for the uninsured or for individuals taking prescriptions that are not covered,” King said.
