Calhoun County to Launch New Prescription Drug Savings Program

Posted: Updated:

On February 9, 2012 at 10:00 AM the Calhoun County Commission and Financial Marketing Concepts Inc., (FMC) will hold a press conference to launch a new prescription drug discount program at 1702 Noble Street, Anniston, AL 36201.

Once launched, the new Coast2Coast Rx card will allow all County residents, regardless of income, age, or health status to participate in the program and save on the cost of their medications.  This program has saved cardholders throughout the nation over 50% in 2011 on the cost of prescription drugs.  Even pets and other people living outside the County are able to take part in the program.  The Rx card will be distributed free of charge and may be used at all pharmacy chains and most independent pharmacies in Calhoun County and includes over 60,000 drugs in its formulary.

Providing savings for residents through the Rx program will come at no expense to the County.  In fact, FMC will pay the County a royalty of $1.00 per prescription and the royalty does not increase cardholder cost.   Besides the discount on prescriptions, the card also provides 50% to 80% discounts for lab and imaging tests, further helping residents save even more money on their healthcare costs for these services.

The Coast2CoastRx card will be available for residents at most participating pharmacies, governmental offices, libraries and County health facilities. Residents will also be able to print the Rx card, check their prescription prices and view the nearest participating locations at www.coast2coastrx.com/calhounal
