PDP Prescription Drug Plan

page Description

The County of Northampton has partnered with the National Association of Counties (NACo) and its prescription benefit manager Caremark to bring Northampton County residents a FREE Prescription Discount Card program that provides cardholders an average savings of 24% on most prescription drugs. This program is NOT INSURANCE, but is a means to save money on the cost of prescription drugs when a consumer has no prescription benefits, or when a certain type of medication is not covered by a prescription plan. The program is being provided at NO COST to Northampton County , its taxpayers or residents. Caremark negotiates the discounts directly with participating pharmacies. Neither NACo nor the participating counties receive any revenue from the program.  
The program is offered through a partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo) and its prescription benefit manager Caremark.

To make it even easier for Northampton County residents to apply, the cards can be printed out at home by visiting the website https://nacorx.org/print-a-card/participating-counties. It is a convenient method to enroll in the program, and to immediately enjoy savings on prescription drugs not covered by insurance.

How do I use my Prescription Discount Card?

Once you have your card, you may use it to receive discounts at one of the 66,000 participating pharmacies. You may use the card as often as you wish on drugs NOT covered by insurance or another prescription discount plan. If you have exceeded the maximum amount allowed by your plan or if a prescribed medication is not included in your current plans formulary, you may use this prescription discount card to receive a discount. One card covers your entire family and must be presented each time you request a prescription to be filled or when you pay for a refilled prescription. Even use the card for your pets!

Your card cannot be used in conjunction with other insurance. However, you may be able to use your card to purchase prescriptions that are not covered by these plans.

You can use your prescription discount card anytime you need to purchase a prescription that is not covered by your Medicare prescription plan or any other insurance.
