Senior Prescription Savings Program

About the Program

Wayne County's Senior Prescription Savings Program offers an excellent opportunity for residents 55 and over to save money on necessary medication. Seniors can save up to 13 percent over the average wholesale price on drugs purchased at any participating pharmacy and up to 50 percent on mail-in savings from generic medicine.

Representatives at the County's Patient Care Management Systems can help citizens understand what drugs may be covered by the county's savings card and what comes under the Medicare program. The aim is to expand the safety net to cover a wider assortment of needed medication.

Call 1 (866) 896-3450 for an application. Within 10 days of filling out the forms the card will be sent to you. See additional pages for a question and answer form about this card, administered by the nationwide Pharmaceutical Care Network. Already 12,000 seniors have started saving through this free card.

Your Coverage would include:

• Any drug that requires a physician's prescription
   
• Prescription mail order services
   
• Thousands of participating pharmacies nationwide
   
• Wellness information

You qualify for the Senior Savings Card if:

• You are a Wayne County Resident
• You are 55 or older
• You have no other co-pay coverage (even if you have a deductible,
• but no co-pay, you qualify)
