- How is this prescription discount program different from traditional
prescription insurance?
- This plan is not insurance; it is a prescription discount program. The card
provides immediate discounts at the pharmacy. Upon presenting your card to
the pharmacist, you will pay the lower of a discounted price or the

available only at participating retail pharmacies.

Pharmacy and Pricing Questions
- Which pharmacies accept the card?
- All retail pharmacies in Nash County accept the prescription drug discount
card. The prescription discount card is accepted at 57,000 retail pharmacies
nationwide, including many of the leading chains. Ask your local pharmacy if
they participate or call toll free 1-877-321-2652 to find out if a specific
pharmacy participates in the program.
- While savings on each prescription may vary, you can save an average of 20
percent off of the pharmacy's regular retail prices for prescription drugs.
In addition, you may save even more by choosing from our list of select
medications. This list is comprised of products offering additional savings.
- Will I always receive the lowest price?
- Yes. You will receive the best price available to you through this program
at the pharmacy. On occasion, pharmacies will price a particular medication
lower than the discount rate provided by the card. If that occurs, you will
receive the lower price.
- Can I find out the discounted price of my prescriptions before going to
the pharmacy?
- Because prices can vary by location, only the actual pharmacy can tell you
the exact price of the prescription. However, you can look up an estimated
price for medications at https://naco.advancerx.com, or call toll free
1-877-321-2652.
- Why did the price of my prescription change since the last time I
purchased the prescription?
- Drug prices are different from pharmacy to pharmacy. Even chains have
different prices in their stores depending on the population they are
servicing. Additionally, manufacturers' drug prices change periodically.
- The brochure says I can save an average of 20 percent on my prescription
medication. Will I save 20 percent on all my medications?
- Because a pharmacy's retail price or usual and customary charge can differ
greatly by pharmacy, your exact percentage of savings may vary depending on
the prescription drug and the price you have paid before.
