New ScriptSave Program To Save Participants

Up To 35 Percent On Prescriptions

WATERBURY — Waterbury Hospital’s Evergreen Club 50 wellness organization is now offering a no-cost program that can save club members significant money on prescription drugs. The program is called ScriptSave and it provides savings of between 5 and 35 percent off medications, whether they are generic or brand name.

“This is one of the most exciting programs we’ve ever been able to offer our members,” said Beverly Aabjerg, coordinator of Evergreen Club 50, which has 20,000 members in Greater Waterbury. “The high cost of medications is one of the biggest concerns among our membership. With this card, people will see an immediate savings.”

Members will also receive coupons in the mail for over-the-counter medications. Waterbury Hospital is the only healthcare facility in Greater Waterbury to offer the program. The card may also be used for other family members.

With the ScriptSave discount card, there are no fees, no waiting periods, and no pre-existing exclusions. However, the card cannot be used in conjunction with any insurance prescription benefits. The cards are honored at more than 30,000 pharmacies nationwide, including Arrow, Brooks, Della Pietra, K-Mart, Martin’s, Rite Aid, Stoll’s, Stop & Shop, Waldbaum’s, and W.H. Pickett, as well as many independent pharmacies.

To obtain a card, members of Evergreen Club 50 should send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Evergreen Club 50, c/o Waterbury Hospital, 64 Robbins Street, Waterbury, CT 06708; or call 203/573-7385.
