Georgia Chapter

Prescription Discount Card

We're excited to offer new prescription discount cards to anyone living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to assist in covering medication costs! The Georgia Chapter has a partner that has generously given these cards for patients to present when they pick up medications at the pharmacy. Before you pay, just present the card to your pharmacist and the discount will be added to your transaction. Plus, $1 will be donated back to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation for each transaction. Print off the card below, cut it out and keep it in your wallet for anytime you pick up medication at the pharmacy!
