Sedgwick County Prescription Discount Card Program Updates

Some individuals have had questions about the Sedgwick County Prescription Discount Card regarding the $4 generic prescription programs at many local retailers as well as whether or not cards are available in Spanish. See below for answers!

Q. Do I have to choose between my prescription discount card and the $4 generic options?
A. No, always present your prescription discount card at a participating pharmacy so you will receive the lowest price possible. You will receive either the $4 generic medication price, or the prescription discount card price, whichever is lower.

Q. Can I get an additional discount off the $4 generic price if I show my discount card?
A. No, when presenting your prescription discount card, you will receive either the pharmacy's $4 price, or the discount card price, whichever is lower. Remember: With the prescription discount card, you will receive the best price available for your prescription medication on that day from the pharmacy.

Q. Are Sedgwick County Prescription Discount Cards available in Spanish?
A. Yes! Posters for the discount card are also now available in both English and Spanish. If you are interested in receiving a card in Spanish, or a poster advertising that the card is available for distribution at your agency, please contact Brandi Clarke at brclarke@sedgwick.gov or 660-7673.
