How to use the Kent County Rx Discount Card

How to use the Kent County Rx Discount Card
Who is eligible for a card?
Any resident of Kent County is eligible. There are no income or age
restrictions. Each member of the family must have a card id number.
How do I get a card?
You can register for a card by going online to www.accesskent.com/OnlineServices/rxcard.htm (Kent
County website) or www.aaawm.org (Area Agency on Aging of Western MI website). The AAAWM
website has a list of agencies distributing the card. You can also leave a message at
616.988.5081 and you will receive a call back informing you of distribution centers. In addition,
some participating pharmacies are able to sign all family members up.
What pharmacies accept the card?
Most major chain pharmacies accept the card. You can use the pharmacy finder at
www.michiganrxcard.com/index.php. There are over 2,000 participating pharmacies state-wide.
How do I use the card?
Check to see if your pharmacy accepts the card. Use the website above or call your pharmacy
and ask.
When you submit your prescription to be filled or are requesting a prescription refill, tell the
pharmacist you want to use the Kent County Rx Discount Card. They may ask for the Rx Bin #
(610709) listed on the card or you may need to show your card prior to the prescription being
filled. Show your card when you pick up the prescription. Enjoy the cost savings.
How much money will the card save me?
Ask the pharmacist what the cash cost is, the cost with the discount card, and the cost with any
insurance you might have. The card may be used in place of prescription insurance but not
with the prescription insurance. Average savings are 35% off the cost of the drug. You can
also go to www.michiganrxcard.com/index.php and click on medication pricing.
How will this help me if I have the Medicare Part D prescription program?
If you enter the “donut hole” during the year, this discount card may provide the prescriptions at
a reduced cost. If you use the discount card, it will not give you credit to get through the “donut
hole”. You will have to determine if using the discount card will help.
Does the card ever expire?
There is no end date on its use.
How is the card funded?
The pharmaceutical companies use their
marketing funds to support the discount card.
