The Federal Government has been touting the prescription drug benefits of the Affordable Healthcare Act. However, the Missouri RX plan covers much of peoples’ prescription drug costs if they are enrolled in Medicare Part D. The following are the benefits of the MoRx program as listed on the Missouri Department of Social Services website:
–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, including 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 plan. Any drug covered by a member's Medicare Drug Plan will also be covered by MoRx.
–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.
–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)
