Thousands of financially vulnerable seniors and adults with disabilities qualify for – but are not yet enrolled in – programs that could help pay expenses and increase quality of life. One such program is SenioRx through the Alabama Tombigbee Regional Commission, Area Agency on Aging.

The SenioRx program helps individuals who lack health insurance or prescription drug coverage obtain the medications they need. SenioRx is no longer just for seniors. People of any age who are disabled, have applied for disability, or whose doctor deems them disabled can qualify. SenioRx can also assist Medicare beneficiaries who have reached the coverage gap to receive their medications.

The program works with pharmaceutical companies to provide free or low-cost prescription drugs to qualifying individuals, and has been able to assist patients with medications such as Eliquis, Ozempic, Xarelto, and many more.

Over the last year, the ATRC Aging has helped hundreds of people receive their medications at little or no cost to them, saving them over two million dollars in prescription costs.

For more information and to find out if you may qualify for the SenioRx program, contact the Area Agency on Aging at 334-682-5206 or toll free at 888-617-0500.
