Agenda Item

Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on an order declaring an emergency and a grave necessity due to unforeseeable circumstances and approve a budget amendment to acknowledge the revenues for the NACo Prescription Discount Card Program:

Background

Williamson County has participated in the free medication discount card program made available through NACo since July 2008. This program provides to consumers an average discount of 24% on medications not available through insurance programs, and may be made available to any county resident, without regard to income. There is no cost to participating counties. The contracted pharmacy benefits manager recoups costs through manufacturer rebate programs.

Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) acts as the county's agent to administer the program, receive the bulk delivery of cards, and manage distribution. The NACo Board of Directors has approved a proposal which will allow counties to receive revenue through the NACo Prescription Discount Card Program. On April 24, 2012, Williamson County Commissioners approved a revised contract allowing revenue sharing, and approving for program revenue to be paid to WCCHD as reimbursement for locally administering the program.
