A Message From The Atlantic County Executive
I recognize that the price of prescription drugs is of major concern,
not only to our senior citizens, but to residents of all ages, especially
those with limited incomes. As a County, it's beyond our ability to legislate
change in this area, but the County can do something to ease the burden
on our own residents.
That's why we've approved the Atlantic County Resident Prescription
Savings Program. The Prescription Savings Card that accompanies this program
will provide Atlantic County residents and their dependents (living in
the same household) a discount of up to 10% to 50% off retail prices on
all prescription drugs. All that is required is a completed application
form, proof of residency and a small annual fee of $20 per household ($40
for 3 years). Please read the brochure carefully for details.
The Atlantic County Resident Prescription Savings Card is accepted
at thousands of participating pharmacies, both local and nationwide.
An application form is provided here (it is included in the downloadable
brochure, right) for your convenience. For further information, please
call the customer service number toll-free at 1 800 633 0037.
