County launches drug, health care discount program
Winter in July
JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter
Though winter might be the furthest thing from the minds of most Antioch residents, Luke Larsen, 6, left, and sisters Kira, 8, and Jesse, 6, have a different idea at the second annual “Camping Under the Stars” event at Pedersen Park, 660 W. Highway 173 in Antioch, on Saturday. Winter was the theme of the Larsen campsite this year and it came complete with scarves, hats, penguins, polar bears, icicles, and the obligatory snowball fight. The event, spon-

sored by the Antioch Parks and Recreation Department, was expanded from last year’s single overnight stay to two nights. A dozen families took part in this year’s event, which featured games, singing, story telling, and meals. Organizer Toni Galster said photos of the campsites will be posted on the department’s Facebook website along with an online poll allowing visitors to the site to vote for the best camp.
Lake County has launched three programs to help county residents better manage the cost of prescription medications and health and dental services. As a member of the National Association of Counties, Lake County is able to offer the prescription, health and dental discount programs to residents that will provide savings of up to 75 percent on prescriptions and 15 to 50 percent on health and dental services The programs can be used by residents who do not have insurance and by those whose insurance does not cover the prescriptions or services they need. There are no annual limits placed on use, no forms to fill out, no waiting periods, no age or income requirements and no medical condition restrictions. “Many families face difficulties in trying to pay for the costs of health care,” said Tony Beltran, the Executive Director of the Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center. “We are pleased to provide residents with these cost-saving options, making it easier for residents to obtain the services they need.” The prescription, health and dental discount programs, which are admin-
istered by CVS Caremark, include discounts on prescription medications, dental services, vision care, LASIK and PRK vision procedures, hearing aids and screenings, prepaid lab work, prepaid diagnostic imaging and diabetic supplies. A resident can begin saving on prescriptions as soon as he or she receives a discount card. For health services, memberships are available on a monthly or annual subscription basis for both individuals and families (these programs are not insurance) and discounts are available immediately upon enrollment. The discount card can also be used to save money on pet medications that have to be purchased at a pharmacy. The card is accepted at 65,000 pharmacies nationwide including major chains such as Walmart, CVS/pharmacy, Walgreens, Giant, Safeway and Rite Aid. Participating pharmacies also include the majority of community-based, independent pharmacies. “We are pleased to work with counties around the country to bring these important programs to their residents,” said National Association of Counties President Linda Langston. “Our
