Kansas Drug Card is the free statewide prescription assistance program available to all Kansas residents. The program was launched in May 2010 to help uninsured and underinsured Kansas residents with their prescription medication costs. Kansas residents with insurance can also utilize the program for their non-covered medications.
Kansas Drug Card works with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and Health KC, as well as many hospitals and clinics to expand card distribution sites throughout the state. Kansas Drug Card is free for everyone and provides discounts as high as 80% on most brand and generic medications. There are no restrictions or eligibility requirements for the program. The program is completely confidential and all cards are pre-activated, ready for use and do not expire. The program is accepted at Dillons, CVS/pharmacy, Hy-Vee, Walgreens, Kmart, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, along with over 68,000 participating pharmacies nationwide.
With the rising cost of healthcare, the Kansas Drug Card provides a simple solution to the high prices of prescription medications. Residents can print a free pre-activated card, locate participating pharmacies, and search drug pricing by visiting www.kansasdrugcard.com.
