Program Description:
New Hampshire Rx Card is the state's free prescription assistance program, launched on October 7, 2009. The NH Rx Card provides free drug cards to all New Hampshire residents and offers savings of up to 75% on prescriptions at participating pharmacies. This program has no restrictions to membership, no income requirements, no age limitations, and there are no applications to fill out. There are currently more than 56,000 pharmacy locations across the country participating in the program.
The New Hampshire Rx Card was launched to help the uninsured and underinsured citizens of New Hampshire afford their prescription medications. However, the program can also be used by people who have health insurance coverage with no prescription benefits, which is common in many health savings accounts (HSA) and high deductible health plans. Additionally, people who have prescription coverage can use this program to get a discount on non-covered drugs.
This statewide initiative is receiving support from The New Hampshire Medical Society (NHMS) and the Business and Industry Association (New Hampshire's Statewide Chamber of Commerce) to create awareness for the program. Anyone not able to access the website, or otherwise obtain a member card, can visit any Shaw's Osco Pharmacy in New Hampshire. Residents can also obtain cards at various health centers, clinics, businesses, and other card distribution sites that are being set up across the state.
