Council to Vote on Discount Drug Participation

If approved, Ledyard residents will be eligible for discounted prescription drugs.

 

Ledyard may join the ranks of more than 40 towns in Connecticut tonight if the Town Council approves a contract with ProAct, a company offering prescription drug discounts to Ledyard residents.

The program, which offers an average savings of about 45% off retail prices will begin in five to seven weeks, according to Mayor John Rodolico. When the program is ready to launch, Ledyard residents will then receive the card in the mail, although Rodolico said Town Hall may receive a small amount to hand out upon request.

The program is offered through the Connecticut Council of Municipalities and is free to Ledyard residents and the card is available to people with or without insurance.

“Even if you have insurance, you can use whichever gets you the best price,” said Rodolico.
