Fairhope, Alabama
CITIZENS SAVED OVER $41,000
A joint program begun in 2009 by Fairhope and the National League of Cities to provide city residents some relief from the high cost of prescription drugs has resulted in over $41,350 in savings for the 4,052 participants since its inception.
The program, which operates at no cost to the city, covers only those prescription drugs not already covered by insurance. Discount cards are available at no charge from the city clerk, at the Nix Center or from the NLC website.
Councilmember Quinn, who initiated the program in Fairhope, said she thought the program has been a success: "It's a savings of over 20% on prescriptions ... about $15,000 a year saved by our residents ... its definetly a service to those who need it."
