DISCOUNT PRESCRIPTION CARD PROGRAM EXPANDED

Hearing aids and eye exams among the additions

The New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) has announced a major expansion of its endorsed discount prescription card program, which has been adopted by 29 New York counties including Steuben. 

The expansion includes discounts on hearing aids, eye glasses, eye exams and Lasik surgey—now included under the same discount prescription card program.

NYSAC President Tom Santulli says New Yorkers, in the counties that honor the discount prescription card program, have saved over $18 million for prescriptions.”  

The NYSAC partnership program with ProAct provides residents a discount prescription card that lowers the cost of drugs for New Yorkers without health care insurance or have inadequate prescription coverage.
