The New Haven Prescription Discount Card is available to all New Haven residents at no cost and without regard to age, income, health and health insurance status. The card provides an average of 45% savings on prescriptions as well as savings on vision and hearing care.

The City of New Haven was able to secure the Prescription Discount Card benefit for its residents as a result of its membership with the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM), which is a statewide association of towns and cities.

• Any New Haven resident can participate regardless of age, income, health or insurance status.

• There are no enrollment forms, membership fees, restrictions or limitations on use.

• All prescription medications are covered, including pet prescriptions that must be filled at a pharmacy.

There are over 63,000 participating pharmacies nationwide, including CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Stop & Shop, Big Y and many independent pharmacies.
