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.

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

Your Coverage would include:

• Any drug that requires a physician's prescription

• Thousands of participating pharmacies nationwide
   
• Wellness information

You qualify for the Senior Savings Card if:

• You are a Wayne County Resident
