New Jersey State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs and Medicare Part D
On January 1, 2006, a new federal government program under Medicare began offering prescription drug coverage for the first time to everyone who has Medicare Part A and/or Part B. This coverage, known as Part D, is provided through private companies whose plans are approved by Medicare.
New Jersey's Department of Human 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 Medicare Part D and what it means for them.
