DALLAS COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS COURT ADMINISTRATION
July 14, 2009
TO: Dallas County Commissioners Court
FROM: Shannon S. Brown, Assistant Administrator
SUBJECT: Discount Medical Programs for County Residents
Background
In February 2007, Commissioners Court approved Dallas County’s utilization of the National
Association of Counties (NACo) prescription discount card program. The intent of the program was
to help County residents save money on their prescription medications any time their prescriptions
are not covered by insurance. NACo selected Caremark RX, Inc. through a request for proposal
process and Dallas County entered into an agreement with Caremark RX, Inc. to implement the
program in Dallas County.
Based on the success of this program, other companies have developed discount programs for
prescriptions and medical services. Two firms have approached Dallas County about their
programs. The purpose of this briefing is to recommend Dallas County implement a new discount
program for its citizens.
Operational Impact
NACo administers the program and provides marketing services. Dallas County makes the card
available at various County facilities and provides information on the website concerning the benefit.
Each month, the NACo card is utilized in Dallas County an average of 2,300 times with an average
savings of 15%. Participation in the program is at no cost to Dallas County or the card holder. The
discount card cannot be used in conjunction with an individual's health insurance drug plan.
However, the discount card may be utilized to receive discounts on drugs that are not a part of your
health plan’s formulary. The discount card does not have any income, age, or existing health status
limitations. Participation in NACo’s program does require an exclusive agreement.
Two companies, Financial Marketing Concepts, Inc. (FMC) and Commerce Benefits Group,
contacted Dallas County about utilizing their programs at a higher savings than the NACo/Caremark
program. Prices were for both programs were compared to the NACo/Caremark program. One
program showed a savings of 5-8% for prescriptions. The other program did not show a savings for
prescriptions but offers discounted laboratory and imaging services. Dallas County requested that
the two programs work to combine the best discounts on prescriptions with the other services
discounts so that citizens could receive the maximum discounts possible.
The programs have received an agreement to combine the discounts into one card for Dallas
County. Financial Marketing Concepts will serve as the lead organization. The basic provisions of
the discount card will remain the same – no cost to the end user, no enrollment/eligibility required,
and the discount cannot be used in conjunction with insurance coverage. The new program has

additional benefits that include a dedicated website maintained by Financial Marketing Concepts that
can be linked to the County’s website, an online pharmacy locator service, the ability to print cards
directly rather than having to drive to a distribution point, and a small royalty for Dallas County. The
program will assist Dallas County in marketing the discount card and provide distribution of the cards
directly to the pharmacies and other locations to be determined by Dallas County. Monthly usage
reports will be provided.
With the implementation of the NACo program, Dallas County was responsible for card distribution
and providing information on the County’s website. Since the proposed program provides a
substantial amount of marketing support, it is anticipated that the usage will increase dramatically
and become a very positive program for Dallas County.
Upon approval of the agreement, FMC will design the card and finalize the website with Dallas
County having final approval. It is estimated that the program will be able to launch by September 1,
2009.
As noted below, the program with NACo/Caremark will need to be terminated due to its exclusivity
clause. Unfortunately, since the program does not have an enrollment component, there is no way
to notify individuals currently utilizing the card that it is no longer active. Information is available on
the pharmacies where the cards are presented and FMC will ensure that those pharmacies have
cards for the new program available to offer customers.
Financial Impact
As previously mentioned, there is no cost for Dallas County or for individuals/families utilizing the
discount card. The agreement does include a small royalty of $0.75 per prescription filled. At the
current rate of usage, the estimated monthly revenue is $1,725. That amount is expected to
increase as the program expands with enhanced marketing.
Legal Impact
To participate in the discount drug card program, Dallas County must execute the attached
agreement with Financial Marketing Concepts, Inc. The agreement has an automatic one (1) year
term with renewal and a thirty (30) day termination clause. The agreement does not require Dallas
County to utilize the card exclusively, but does provide that if another prescription discount card is
provided by Dallas County, the royalty does decrease. The agreement has been provided to the
District Attorney’s Office, Civil Division for review and approval.
Since the NACo/Caremark program is an exclusive agreement, Dallas County will need to terminate
the agreement with that program. Upon approval of this new program, official notification will be
generated and sent.
Strategic Plan Compliance
This program supports Vision 2 of the Dallas County Strategic Plan by promoting a healthy
community.
Recommendation
It is recommended that Dallas County enter into an agreement with Financial Marketing Concepts,
Inc. for the provision of a discount prescription, laboratory and imaging services card for Dallas
County.
