Missouri RX Plan (MORx)
Low-income seniors
Content updated March 26, 2026
Missouri’s State Pharmacy Assistance Program – also referred to as MORx — assists low-income seniors with the cost of their medications by paying up to 50% of their co-payment, deductible and coverage gap amounts.
The MORx program is intended to supplement Medicare Part D plans (Medicare’s prescription drug program), not to replace them. When an enrolled individual makes a medication purchase, Medicare Part D is the “first payer” and MORx is the “second payer,” meaning the Missouri Rx Plan will only pay after Medicare Part D has paid their portion.
As of 2024, MORx is only available for those who are receiving both Medicare and an MO HealthNet (Medicaid) benefit.
