Nevada Prescription Help For Those With Disabilities

friendshelpingfriends started this conversation

Effective January 1, 2007, the state of Nevada began providing assistance with the cost of prescription medicines to qualified individuals with disabilities. Eligibility requirements are:

  • Age 18 through 61 with verifiable disability

  • Nevada resident continuously for at least the last 12 months

  • Annual income no more than $25,477 for singles and $33,963 for couples

Disability Rx Enrollment for Nevada’s Disability Rx prescription program is open. Unfortunately, a limited amount of funding is available and a waiting list has been established. As funds become available, the lowest household income designated on the waiting list will receive priority for enrollment.

This is an on-line application. You can fill out the form on-line, print it, and then mail it to the address provided.

For an application or additional Disability Rx information, dial 687-4210, ext. 244 if calling from the Reno-Carson City-Gardnerville areas, or if outside this area call toll-free 1-866-303-6323

Based on funding availability, the benefits are ...

    For those who are Not Medicare Eligible:    

  • No monthly premium

  • No deductible

  • Co-payments of $10 for generics or $25 for preferred brands

  • Annual coverage limit of $5,100

    For those who are Medicare Eligible:    

  • Help with monthly premiums for Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan (if not qualified for maximum help from Medicare with that expense)

  • Help with prescription costs after reaching the Medicare Part D coverage limit
