Ohio's Non-Insured Prescription Drug Plan to Merge With Golden Buckeye Card

If you know any senior citizens who do not have prescription drug coverage, they might want to check out this story in the Dayton Daily News. Seniors enrolled in Ohio's Best RX plan, which covers eligible Ohio citizens who don't have prescription health insurance coverage, is merging with the Golden Buckeye Card. This will mean that Ohio seniors can use the Golden Buckeye Card for prescription medicine if they are otherwise eligible.

This quote from the article explains the coverage:

For adults younger than 60 to be eligible, they also must have annual incomes below 300 percent of the federal poverty level — $30,636 for singles, $41,076 for families of two and $10,440 more per additional person.

The article also points out that:

The program can complement other drug discount cards and Medicare Part D. Only one can be used per prescription.

The Daily News article notes that participants in the Best RX program save approximately 34% on their prescription drugs. If you click on the above link to the Daily News article you can read a telephone number and an Internet address where you can get more information.
