July 14, 2008 by Bob Schenkenberger · 2 Comments
Arapahoe County Colorado residents now have a way to save on the ever-rising costs of perscription drug costs. On July 3rd the County Commissioners announced the program.
Commissioner Susan Beckman said:
“Using the NACo prescription discount is easy, simply present it at a participating pharmacy. There is no enrollment fee and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. Cardholders and family members may use the card any time their prescriptions ar not covered by insurance.”
The card will save residents 20% off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs and may be used by all Arapahoe County residents regardless of existing insurance coverage, age or income level. The cards are accepted by more than 90% of local pharmacies.
An interesting note, discounts also apply to pet medications!
You may get your card at Arapahoe County offices, the South Metro Denver Chamber, and many libraries in the county. For full details and all locations to get your card, see the Arapahoe County Official Page. You may also call 1.877.321.2652

Anne, Thanks for the comment. I agree, the county providing access is a great benefit. The best part is it’s a no cost to the taxpayer!
