Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 40, § 1219.3. Louisiana Senior Rx and Aging and Disability Information Station Programs; legislative findings; creation; eligibility

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. The legislature finds that the pharmaceutical manufacturers, seeing a need for such programs, have created charitable programs to aid low-income seniors and persons with adult-onset disabilities with the cost of prescription drugs. The legislature recognizes that seniors and adults with disabilities need assistance in locating and accessing available supports and services. The legislature also finds that many persons are unaware of such programs or do not know how to apply for or need assistance in applying for such programs. It is the intent of the legislature that the office of elderly affairs implement programs to assist seniors and persons with an adult-onset disability in accessing those programs.

B. The Louisiana Senior Rx and Aging and Disability Information Station Programs are hereby established in the office of elderly affairs to help seniors and persons with adult-onset disabilities in accessing manufacturers' discount cards and pharmaceutical assistance programs and to assist such persons in applying for those and other supports and service programs.

C. Eligibility shall be limited to residents of the state who meet, at a minimum, all of the following criteria:

(1) Must be sixty years of age or older or be a person with adult-onset disabilities.

(2) Must have a gross income that does not exceed three hundred percent of the federal poverty guidelines.

(3) Must not have voluntarily canceled a state or federal prescription drug program or a private prescription reimbursement plan within six months prior to application for enrollment in the program.
