Missouri Rx Plan - State Pharmacy Assistance Program

 
Missouri Rx Plan Description
Missouri's State Pharmacy Assistance Program is more commonly referred to as the Missouri Rx Plan or MoRx.  This program assists low income seniors with the cost of their medications by paying up to 50% of their co-payment amounts.

The program is known as a Medicare wraparound program which means the benefits wrap around those benefits provided by a Medicare Part D plan.  When making a prescription purchase, Medicare Part D is the first payer and then this program contributes towards those costs the Part D plan does not cover.
Missouri Rx Plan Eligibility
To be eligible for this program, seniors must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a Missouri resident
  • Be enrolled in or willing to enroll in a Medicare Part D Plan
  • Have an annual income below the limit.  In 2011, the income limit for an individual is $21,660 and $29,140 for a couple.


Missouri Rx Plan Benefits
MoRx will pay for 50% of out-of-pocket prescription costs not including the Medicare Part D plan premium.

Missouri Rx Plan Costs
There are no costs to enroll in this program.
