Detroit Prescription Drug Discount Cards

By on March 9, 2013 in Health and Medical, Pharmacy, Resources

Detroit residents can still save money on their prescriptions with a drug discount card available through the Detroit City Clerk’s office.

The free prescription drug discount cards provide an average savings of 20 percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs at participating pharmacies.  The prescription discount card is available to residents through the City of Detroit in collaboration with the National League of Cities in Washington, D.C.

Detroit residents have saved $550,000 through the City of Detroit Prescription Discount Card Program since program’s launch in March 2010, according to Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey.

The prescription discount card offers savings on prescription drugs to residents who do not have health insurance or a traditional benefits plan, or who have prescriptions that are not covered by insurance. The card is free to all Detroit residents, regardless of age, income or existing health insurance.

Residents may obtain a card from either of the City Clerk’s Offices listed below, or from participating CVS pharmacies located in Detroit.

●  City Clerk’s Office, Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, 2 Woodward Ave. – Suite 200 ●  Department of Elections, 2978 W. Grand Blvd.
