STILLWATER, N.Y., April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Saratoga
County today announced an agreement with Inside Rx to offer the
Inside RxSM discount savings card to Saratoga County residents as part of the
County's Prescription Drug Discount Program. This program has been
developed by the Saratoga County
Board of Supervisors to help lower the prescription drug cost for
County residents.
This program is designed for use by people without insurance or
when something is not covered by a cardholders' current health
insurance plan. There is no charge to residents or the County to
belong to this program.
"We are excited to be able to provide our residents with the
opportunity to lower their prescription drug costs through this
program," said Stillwater
Supervisor Ed Kinowski, Chairman of
the Board of Supervisors. "Saratoga
County is proud to be named one of New York's healthiest counties year after
year, and wellness programs like this are an important reason why.
This partnership will help our residents get access to the
prescriptions they need to improve and maintain healthy lifestyles
and address medical concerns."
As a partially owned subsidiary of Express Scripts (NASDAQ:
ESRX), Inside Rx works with manufacturers and retail pharmacies to
provide savings for eligible patients who pay full-list price on
prescription medications, through the Inside Rx savings card.
"Inside Rx and Saratoga County
want to make sure that residents paying full-list price for their
prescription medications take advantage of the deep discounts
offered through Inside Rx," said Leslie
Achter, CEO. "Inside Rx is proud to feature more than 100
brand-name medications at a savings average of 40 percent, and a
robust list of generics with an average of nearly 80 percent off
retail." *
In addition, the Inside Rx Pets program can offer savings on
select medications commonly prescribed for pets such as insulin and
antibiotics, as well as seizure, glaucoma, and anti-inflammatory
drugs, purchased at any of the participating pharmacies in the
Saratoga area.
The Inside Rx card is widely available through various outlets.
Saratoga County residents can
download the card and check the list of participating pharmacies,
medication listing, and usage terms at InsideRx.com/Saratoga, www.saratogacountyny.gov or their
town and city websites. The card will also be available at local
town halls, libraries, participating pharmacies and physician
offices. Saratoga County and
Inside Rx are jointly reaching out to pharmacies to make sure the
cards are available for paying customers, and that pharmacies know
how to apply the savings.
Benefiting from these discounts is easy for eligible patients
who only need to present the discount card at participating
pharmacies, including national chains such as CVS, Hannaford Food
and Drug, Rite Aid, and Walgreens. There is no membership fee or
other costs to obtain the card, which could save eligible patients
hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year. Visit InsideRx.com
for more information on pricing, and a list of featured brand
medications.
*Average savings rates stated are based on savings for over
50% of eligible Inside Rx users, based on cash price versus Inside
Rx price for featured brand medications. Eligibility
restrictions apply; visit insiderx.com for details. Inside Rx
card is not insurance.
