Simsbury Residents Eligible for CCM’s Discount Prescription Drug Card Program

The Town of Simsbury, through its association with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM), the statewide association of towns and cities, has already saved Simsbury residents more than $154,972 in prescription costs since joining CCM’s Discount Prescription Drug Card Program in September 2012.  This represents a 50% savings over what residents would have paid for the 3,191 prescriptions filled thus far.

The program can be used by any resident to obtain substantial discounts and savings on prescriptions not covered by insurance, including prescriptions for your pet, that can be filled at a regular retail pharmacy. There are no costs to either the Town or its residents, and the program is completely anonymous.

Cards can be used by all residents regardless of age, income or existing health coverage.  There are no enrollment forms, membership fees, restrictions or limits on frequency of use for residents.  Residents can print out a card easily by visiting www.CTRxDiscountCard.com, and selecting the Town of Simsbury from the drop-down menu. The discount cards are widely accepted at all national chain pharmacies and most local independent pharmacies.  The website also contains a “Learn the Perks of the Card” section where residents can locate a participating pharmacy, comparison shop their medication, and find the information on the discounts that are also available on vision, hearing and LASIK services.
