Welcome to Senior Rx,
Nevada's plan to provide Nevada seniors relief
from the high cost of prescription medicine. Senior Rx
provides assistance with Medicare Part D expenses for members
who ARE eligible for Part D and a cost-sharing benefit
for members who are NOT eligible for Part D.
Senior Rx
is funded with a portion of Nevada’s share of tobacco settlement
funds and was passed into law during the 1999 legislative
session. Senior Rx provides up to $5,100 in
benefits per year depending on the member’s situation.
Many of the program’s benefits are administered through a
contracted pharmacy benefit manager called Catalyst Rx.
Other benefits are coordinated directly with the Medicare Part D
plans that serve as the first prescription drug resource for
enrolled members.
Effective July 1, 2009,
the maximum annual household
income for singles is $25,477,
and the maximum annual
household income for married couples is $33,963. - - - Senior Rx Enrollment
for
Nevada’s Senior Rx prescription program is open. With
new limits on our funding, from time to time wait lists
may be established. The persons with lowest household
income designated on the waiting list will always
receive priority for enrollment.
