The Pinellas County Health Plan offers prescription coverage with no co-pays to residents in need. Be sure to stop by a Medical Home near you to see if you qualify. Help with medicine may also be offered temporarily through the Mobile Medical Unit.
Medical Homes have a limited pharmacy. The Mobile Medical Unit does not carry drugs on board. Prescriptions may be filled at local, participating pharmacies.
What does the NACo Prescription Discount Card Program offer?
Pinellas County has made prescription drug discount cards available through a program offered through the National Association of Counties (NACo). All Pinellas County residents, regardless of income, are eligible for this program. The prescription cards are distributed to many locations throughout Pinellas County. Click on location list here.
The card means an average savings of 22 percent off the retail price of many prescribed drugs. Most major retail pharmacy chains such as CVS, Walgreens and Wal-Mart accept the cards. Please note that this is not insurance, but rather a way to receive discounted prices.
You may save even more by ordering medications through mail service. Visit www2.caremark.com/naco to learn more.
A caring professional can work with you to determine if you qualify for free prescription drug programs. Qualified staff will work with you to fill out and submit program applications for requested medications.
