Free Prescription Drug Discount Cards
"No one should have to pay full price for their prescription medications."

Back in the spring of 2008, United Way of Charles County joined over 600 local United Ways already participating with Pennsylvania-based FamilyWize Partnership to distribute free prescription drug discount cards in our area.  Since that time, United Way of Charles County has saved Charles Countians nearly $300,000 in prescription costs. 

Providing relief and coverage for health care is a top concern for United Way of America.  In fact, it's part of one of the building blocks of a healthy community and one of United Way of America's three priority areas.  A recent survey by the Kiser Family Foundation, the Harvard School of Public Health and USA Today reported that over 40% of adults surveyed either hadn't filled a prescription or reduced the required dosage because of the high cost of medicine.

The cards are free and easy to use.  Simply take the card to your pharmacist along with your prescriptions.  Almost every pharmacy in the United States accepts the card, so you can use it wherever you are.  The average savings is approximately 30% per prescription.  Everyone in the family can use the same card, and you can use it every time you fill a prescription, until December 31, 2014.  There is no paperwork, no enrollment, and no waiting period.  You will not be required to divulge any personal information, other than what you need to provide in order to get your medicine. 

The cards are for people with no health insurance or who have to purchase medicines that aren't covered under their plan.  The only situation in which the cards cannot be used is when prescriptions are filled by mail.

You can obtain a free card today and use it today!  Go to the FamilyWize website and print out the card. Make as many copies as you like for family and friends!  No printer?  Click here and let us know you'd like to have a card mailed to you.  You'll need to give us your mailing address.
