*Please note that these guidelines above are not the pharmaceutical companies’ guidelines. They are guidelines that determine who SenioRx may assist with applying for prescription assistance programs through the pharmaceutical companies. No matter what the SenioRx guidelines for eligibility are, your final eligibility will be determined by each pharmaceutical company’s program guidelines.

How SenioRx Works

  • The SenioRx program relies on the guidelines set forth by the pharmaceutical companies providing the drugs.

  • TARCOG contracts with the county commissions in each of the TARCOG counties to implement this program. SenioRx clients, or their family members or representatives, must make an appointment with the respective county SenioRx office to file for medication assistance.

  • SenioRx is 100% funded by the Alabama State Legislature. This program is not operated under the Older Americans Act. In fiscal year 2021, the SenioRx program saved 800 seniors in the TARCOG region $4,665,175.57 in drug costs.
