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.
