Press release:

Burien residents can get some relief from the high cost of prescription medications through a new program offered through the city of Burien and National League of Cities (NLC).
The program provides free discount cards that offer savings off the retail price of prescription medications that aren’t covered by health insurance plans.
While discounts on each prescription may vary, cardholders can save as much as 20 percent off the pharmacy’s regular retail prices for prescription drugs.

The NLC Prescription Discount Card can be used by all residents of Burien and has no restrictions based on a resident’s age, income level, or existing health coverage. The card can be used at all major pharmacies in and around Burien. The discount program goes into effect Jan. 6.

“Given the current economic climate, where many people need to watch what they spend, we are happy to partner with the National League of Cities to make this prescription discount card available to our residents,” said Burien Mayor Joan McGilton.

Residents can pick up a card at Burien City Hall, 400 SW 152nd St., Ste. 300, and the Burien Community Center, 14700 6th Ave. SW, or obtain one online at www.caremark.com/nlc.
Residents can also use www.caremark.com/nlc to check the price of a prescription drug using the discount card, locate the nearest participating pharmacy or call toll-free at 1-888-620-1749 for assistance with the program.
