Summary
The Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) program in New Jersey has increased income eligibility limits retroactive to January 1st. Single persons can now earn up to $25,000 (previously $23,000) and married couples up to $30,625 (previously $28,150) to qualify for pharmaceutical assistance.
Action Required
For patients seeking PAAD pharmaceutical assistance: Direct eligibility questions to Bureau of PAAD at CNT Trenton, NJ or toll-free hotline. Inform eligible patients they can receive retroactive reimbursement by having pharmacists complete MC claim forms with proof of purchase receipts. This primarily affects patient assistance rather than billing operations.
