Missouri Rx Plan- Prescription Drug Help For Missourians

With the economy as it is, we can all use some help. I recently learned about this program and wanted to pass the information along. Missouri has a Rx Plan that works with Medicare Part D to help Missourians save money on prescription drugs.
The Benefits of MoRx are:
- MoRx works with all Medicare part D plans.
- MoRx pays for 50% of your out-of-pocket costs on medications that are covered by your Medicare Part D plan. This means you will save 50% on your deductible, 50% on your co-pays and 50% during the coverage gap and beyond. MoRx does not pay for the Medicare Part D Plan's monthly premium.
- MoRx uses the formulary of the Medicare Part D plans. Any drug covered by a member's Medicare Drug Plan's will also be covered by the MoRx plan.
- Dual eligible members will continue to have coverage for Medicare-excluded drugs through MO HealthNet. Medicare-excluded drugs include specific over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, minerals, limited cough and cold drugs, benzodiazepines and barbiturates as they are currently covered by MO HealthNet, as noted on the MO HealthNet Division Pharmacy pages.
- MoRx covers up to a 31-day supply for each prescription.
- You can use any Missouri pharmacy that works with your Part D plan. (MoRx does not cover mail order services)
Enrollment is free and open year-round. Learn how you can enroll in MoRx. To enroll in the program, you need to meet the following criteria:
- A resident of the State of Missouri; and
- Enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D). To learn more about the Part D or to choose and enroll in a Part D plan that's best for you, visit www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) toll-free; and
- Single - with an annual gross household income of $20,800 or less or

To enroll in the program, send one copy of each of the following documents with your enrollment form.
Do not send originals.
- A copy of your Medicare Health Insurance card
- A copy of your Social Security card
These copies do not need to be in color.
If you do not include the required documents your application will be returned as incomplete. Please send copies only. DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS.
Current MoRx members should not fill out an application. Once you are enrolled in MoRx, you will not need to re-apply again. However, notices may be sent periodically requesting updated information.
Once your completed MoRx application with required documents is received, you will receive a welcome letter and membership card.
In addition to your Part D plan and MoRx benefits, you may be eligible for extra help with prescription costs from the Federal Government. To learn more about this extra help, visit www.socialsecurity.gov or call 1-800-772-1213 toll-free.
