SACRAMENTO – Sacramento County today announced the launch of a new low-cost prescription program, the Sac Best Rx Savings Program, which will be available at no cost to all County residents, as well as residents of the Sacramento region. By using the program’s prescription card, residents will be able to save up to 75% off generic medications, with overall average savings more than 40% across brand and generic medications combined!
Obtaining a Sac Best Rx Savings Card is easy—it is free and no personal information is required. Tear-off brochures featuring two ready-to-use Sac Best Rx Savings Cards are being made available at various public locations throughout the county.
Residents can also print a Sac Best Rx Savings Card by visiting www.SacBestRx.com or may request one by calling 1-877-684-0032. TTY users may dial 711 for relay service. Information on the website is available in both English and Spanish, with multilingual service representatives available by calling the toll-free number.
Keenan & Associates is actively assisting with the promotion of the cards throughout the county, helping at the grass-roots level with community outreach, card distribution and program education.
“This exciting program is going to reach thousands of Sacramento County residents looking for ways to save on their prescription drugs,” said Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services Director Ann Edwards. “The Sac Best Rx Savings Card is available for free and significantly reduces the cost of medications at a time when families and seniors need it most.”
There are no waiting periods to receive the Sac Best Rx Savings Card, no pre-existing condition restrictions, no membership fees and the card instantly activates. More than 60,000 pharmacies are participating nationwide. If the pharmacy’s usual and customary price is lower than the Sac Best Rx Savings Card price, the resident will pay the lower price. If a resident learns a pharmacy is not enrolled in the program, it can be enrolled quickly, so they are able to immediately take advantage of the discount. A 24-hour pharmacy helpline is available to assist with questions from the participant or to aid in pharmacy enrollment. The Sac Best Rx Savings Card website provides an easy-to-use pharmacy locator tool, as well as a drug pricing index that aids participants in finding the low-cost pharmacy in their neighborhood zip code.

EPS is a pharmacy benefits manager that secures volume discounts on prescription drugs, passing savings on to consumers. Participating pharmacies must agree to the negotiated prices.
