Nevada Senior RX Program

 
Nevada Senior RX Program Description
The Senior Rx Program is Nevada’s state pharmaceutical assistance program designed for elderly residents.  The program provides financial assistance for prescription drugs to both Medicare and non-Medicare eligible individuals.  Individuals that are eligible for Medicare must enroll in a Medicare Part D plan.   Persons on Medicaid are ineligible for this program.

The Nevada Senior RX 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.
Nevada Senior RX Program Eligibility
To be eligible for this program, seniors must meet the following criteria:
  • Be a Nevada resident
  • Be 62 years of age or older.
  • Have an annual income below the limit which in 2011 is $25,477 for an individual or $33,963 for a couple.
  • Enrolled in Medicare Part D Plan (if eligible).
  • Cannot be eligible for Medicaid


Nevada Senior RX Program Benefits
This program provides financial assistance for Medicare Part D premiums, co-payments, deductibles and gap coverage for the “donut” hole up to $5,100 / year.

Nevada Senior RX Program Costs
There is no charge to participate in this program.
