Prescriptions
for Seniors |
| The
National Council on the Aging is proud to announce the launch of BenefitsCheckUpRx, a free confidential screening tool that provides seniors with a comprehensive and personalized listing of their eligibility for over 240 prescription drug
savings programs covering nearly 800 medications. The service is fast, free, and completely confidential. |
|
BenefitsCheckUpRx
is a major expansion to NCOA's popular
BenefitsCheckUp, a Web site that that has provided more than 820,000 eligibility reports for federal and state benefit programs to older Americans.
By visiting
BenefitsCheckUpRx, older Americans, their families and caregivers can now quickly determine what prescription savings programs a senior qualifies for and how to claim them.
Once users complete a brief questionnaire, the service displays a personalized report
specifying all the programs they are eligible for and
detailed instructions on how to enroll. |
The development of
BenefitsCheckUpRx
has been supported by Lucent Technologies/Avaya/Agere Family Care Development Fund, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, , and FJC-A Foundation of Donor-Advised Funds.
NCOA believes that the only viable long-term solution is a new prescription drug benefit as part of Medicare, but in the meantime, there are literally millions of older persons who can save money by using the
BenefitsCheckUpRx
service. |
