As the First Selectman of Thompson I am very happy to share with you a free prescription discount card program. It’s a pleasure that local government can bring our citizens a benefit without a cost connected to it.
The Town of Thompson can do this by partnering with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM) and ProAct, Inc. By using the ProAct Discount Prescription Card it is estimated that you can save about 20% on brand name drugs and up to 70% on your generic prescription purchases. If you already have prescription drug coverage, you can use this card for discounts on prescriptions not covered by your insurance plan. Cick here for more information.
