Description:

South Carolina Drug Card is the statewide free prescription assistance program available to all South Carolina residents. The program was launched in August of 2007 to help uninsured and underinsured residents of South Carolina afford their prescription medications. Residents with insurance can use the program to discount non-covered medications. Everyone is eligible for this free program and there are no enrollment requirements.

South Carolina Drug Card is working with the South Carolina Medical Association (SCMA), Health Access America , Palmetto Outreach, and many other healthcare-related organizations in an effort to expand card distribution sites throughout the state. South Carolina Drug Card provides savings as high as 80% on some medications. The program is completely confidential and all cards are pre-activated and do not expire. The program is accepted at CVS/pharmacy, Walgreens, BI-LO, Kmart, Fred's, Ingles, Kerr, Longs, Target and Walmart, as well as 68,000 other participating pharmacies nationwide. This Program is not insurance.

With today's rising cost of health care, the South Carolina Drug Card is a simple solution to the high cost of prescription medications. Residents can print a free pre-activated card, locate participating pharmacies, and search drug pricing by visiting www.southcarolinadrugcard.com.
