Discount Card

In September 2007, Cook County, in partnership with Caremark and the National Association of Counties (NACo), introduced the new Cook County Prescription Drug Discount Card Program. This free card is available to all county residents and can provide significant savings on prescription drugs with no income requirements, no age requirements, and unlimited use for the whole family.

Any county resident without prescription coverage can use this program. Even if you have insurance for prescription drugs, you may still benefit from the discount card, since it may save you money on prescription drugs your existing plan does not cover.

 
 

Access to Care

The department is the lead affiliate for implementing the Access to Care Program, in conjunciton with the suburban Primary Health Care Council. Access to Care provides subsidized health services to suburban Cook County residents with limited financial resources. Through a partnership with private physicians, care is provided tomroe than 13,000 suburban residnets at private clinics located throughout the suburbs.
