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, 2008,
the maximum annual household
income for singles is $25,477, and the maximum annual
