FREE PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT CARDS AVAILABLE THROUGH CITY'S BEAVERTON CARES PROGRAM
Posted: March 15th, 2010 3:34 PM
Residents may save an average of 20 percent on prescriptions not covered by insurance by using discount cards offered by the City of Beaverton. Made available through a partnership with the National League of Cities, the prescription discount card is free and provides coverage for all family members.
"Medications can be a significant portion of the family budget, especially for seniors," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "During these challenging economic times, it's more important than ever to find ways to help members of our community make ends meet."
Easy to use, the prescription discount card can be used anytime a prescription is not covered by insurance. It even covers medications for pets (medication must be a covered human medication). Nine out of ten pharmacies nationwide participate in this program. In addition the prescription drug card has:
* No limit on how many times you can use the card
* No age requirements
* No income requirements
Free prescription discount cards can be found at the following locations:

12375 SW 5th St
Beaverton, OR 97005
