In its ongoing eff orts to support
small businesses recover from the
COVID-19 crisis, the Queens Chamber
of Commerce launched the QCC
Prescription Discount Card Program.
The program allows chamber members
to be eligible to receive a card that
helps make prescription drug costs as
much as 80% lower, providing both
brand name and generic prescription
medications.
The QCC Prescription Discount Card
is free, with no enrollment fees, premiums
or deductibles and no claim forms,
referrals or paperwork are needed to
receive benefi ts. Additionally, the card
is accepted at 67,000 pharmacies across
the country.
“The Queens Chamber of Commerce
represents over 1,400 member businesses
with over 150,000 Queens-based
employees. Ninety percent of those
businesses have 10 or fewer employees,”
Queens Chamber of Commerce
President and CEO Thomas J. Grech
said. “As the cost of running a small
business continues to increase, both
business owners and their employees
know that every nickel counts. We
are thrilled to help our membership
decrease their medical prescription
costs.”
The QCC Prescription Discount Card
is a drug coupon and is not considered
insurance. While it cannot be combined
with insurance, members can
use the card instead of insurance if:
• A drug isn’t covered by insurance
• Current insurance plan has no drug
