Summary
New income eligibility limits have been established for New Jersey's Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) Program, which helps qualifying patients with prescription drug costs. This affects patient eligibility verification and may impact copayment amounts for prescription medications.
Action Required
Immediately: Front desk staff should verify updated PAAD income eligibility limits when processing prescription-related visits for New Jersey patients aged 65+ or disabled. Update patient eligibility verification procedures to use new income thresholds. Contact pharmacy or billing team if patient PAAD status changes as this may affect prescription copayments.
