Something good coming in September water bills
Atlanta residents will receive registration forms for a free prescription discount card inserted in their September water bills.
Launched last fall in Atlanta, the program helps residents with the high cost of prescription medications. Sponsored by the National League of Cities, the program provides residents with a card that offers an average of 20 percent savings off the retail price of prescription medications.
Atlanta residents can locate the nearest participating pharmacy by calling 1-888-620-1749 or by visiting www.caremark.com/nlc.
