Suffolk County Residents - Rx discounts available

Just came across this by clicking through Suffolk County's Website by clicking the Scripts box :

The new Suffolk SCRIPTS (Suffolk County Initiative to Provide Taxpayer Savings) Program allows Suffolk County residents to save an average of 20 percent off the retail price of their personal medications. While SCRIPTS is not an insurance plan in itself, this prescription discount card can help bridge the financial gap for all Suffolk County residents– even those with personal insurance plans.
Best of all, the Suffolk SCRIPTS card is free. Though similar programs have been adopted nationwide, Suffolk SCRIPTS differs from other discount cards. In continuation with our Smart Government campaign, Suffolk County was able to secure reduced prescription prices for all its residents, including County employees and retirees, which will save taxpayers at least $1.2 million annually.
In contrast to today’s soaring prices and high cost of living, this program will allow Suffolk County residents to truly save their hard-earned money. According to Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy, “More and more residents are finding that their insurance companies are limiting the preferred medications lists and may be forced to pay out-of-pocket to cover certain prescriptions. The Suffolk SCRIPTS program will at least be able to cushion that blow with a discount on the retail price of anywhere from five to 50 percent.”
The Suffolk SCRIPTS card is accepted at over 300 pharmacies within the County, at more than 57,000 pharmacies nationwide, and is available through mail service. It carries no age or income restrictions, and no limits on how often it can be used. You and your family may freely use this card at any time, even when your prescription is not covered by your personal insurance plan. Simply present the discount card at a participating retail pharmacy and start saving on many of your prescription drugs. To find out where to pick-up a card of yourown, please call toll-fee 1-877-321-2652.Source

Re: Suffolk County Residents - Rx discounts available

i saw this was an old post originally....how did you get the card? i followed the links and called the number and we were both circled around...the customer service rep said that I might be able to get it at the library or the town hall, but I was hoping to not have to go on a mission....she mentioned folks are usually able to print it online but the rep and I both circled around the site.

Anyone else have luck with this today?
