State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs and Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage

On January 1, 2006, a new federal government program under Medicare will offer prescription drug coverage for the first time to everyone who has Medicare Part A and/or Part B. This coverage will be provided through private companies whose plans are approved by Medicare.

New Jersey's Department of Health & Senior Services has created this Web site to help Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled program (PAAD) and Senior Gold Prescription Discount program (Senior Gold) beneficiaries and caregivers learn more about this new federal drug program and what it means for you.
