Help with Prescriptions

Dear Friends, For Maine residents living in the counties of Cumberland, Franklin, Knox, Penobscot, Somerset, and Waldo, there is a discount prescription option that you may not have heard about yet. People living in the counties listed above can go to their Town Office or their County Commissioner’s Office to pick up their free drug discount card. The average discount seen with these cards is reported to be about 20% off the total retail cost. There are no income or asset guidelines for this assistance. This new program adds another resource to the list of programs that can help eligible Mainers with drug costs. Other programs that could be helpful are MaineCare, Maine Rx Plus, Low-Cost Drugs for the Elderly and Disabled, Medicare, retail generic discounts, and other drug-specific programs. For more information about these other programs and how to apply if they are right for you, just give us a call at our HelpLine (1-800-965-7476). For more information about the county-specific programs, call or visit your Town Office or County Commissioner’s Office.
