Lawrence County Commissioner Les Boggs said since he has expressed an interest in partnering with Caremark CVS for a county-wide discount prescription plan, other similar entities have contacted the county, asking for consideration of their plans.

Earlier this month, Boggs expressed an interest in a discount plan offered by Caremark CVS that would give prescription discounts to almost any Lawrence Countian who signed up for the plan and used pharmacies that are on the Caremark list.

Boggs said other discount companies now want to be considered before the county signs with Caremark. He said while he thinks Caremark’s plan is probably the best, he is willing to listen to what the others have to say.

“In fairness, I told them to come on Tuesday (to the commission work session),” Boggs said.

Boggs said he is also continuing to work with Commission Employee Benefits Consortium of Ohio (CEBCO) on a quote for employee health insurance.
