“City of Jeffersonville works with Indiana Drug Card to help Hoosiers with prescription costs”
The City of Jeffersonville has enrolled in a program helping Hoosiers with their prescription drugs.
The city has partnered with Indiana Drug Card to offer a discount prescription card to anyone living or working in Clark County. The cards are sponsored by drug companies and the participating pharmacies. There are more than 56,000 pharmacies accepting the cards nationwide.
The cards offer an average savings of 30 percent, but some prescriptions are discounted as much as 75 percent.
The cards can be printed out online at the City of Jeffersonville's website, or they can be picked up at City Hall and all five fire departments. You do not have to use your name on the card, just a telephone number. If you do have insurance, you cannot get a discount on medicines that your insurance covers, but you can use them for ones that are not covered.
