Harris County Gives Away Prescription Discount Cards

POSTED: Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Harris County is giving away prescription discount cards to any resident who wants one, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.

The National Association of Counties Harris County prescription card is available at all 16 Harris County Tax Office branches.

Harris County Precinct 3 Commissioner Steve Radack's office gave the tax office 108,000 cards to distribute. Radack's office is coordinating the distribution of more than 500,000 cards countywide.

The prescription card is not insurance and is meant to be a way to save money on medicines that are not covered by insurance.

The card saves users an average of 20 percent on their medication.
