NORWICH – Chenango County isn’t participating in a prescription drug discount card program that its sponsors say has saved New York users more than $50 million at the pharmacy counter.

More than half of the state’s counties, 43 of 62, have opted for the New York State Association of Counties-sponsored program.

“Nearly two million prescriptions have been filled using these discount cards saving participants an average of 48 percent off the full retail price,” a NYSAC press release states.
