FREE Prescription Discount Card

Lyon County has launched a discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescrpition drugs.  The county is making free prescription drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) that offers average savings of 20 percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs.

The cards may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage, and are accepted by all pharmacies within Lyon County and at the majority of pharmacies in Reno/Sparks and Carson City, as well as online options.

There is no enrollment form, no membership fee, and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use.  Cardholders and their family members may use the card anytime their prescriptions are not covered by insurance.

For more information please see the NACO Prescription Discount Card Program Fact Sheet.  A list of participating pharmacies and prescription costs is available.  If you have other questions, contact Lyon County Human Services Assistant Director, Tamie MacDonald, at (775) 577-5009.
