Prescription Drug Assistance Programs:

Generally two types of prescription drug assistance programs are available to help Medicare beneficiaries with limited financial resources access their medications: 1.) State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (SPAPs), and 2.) Private Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (PAPs). Beneficiaries must meet certain eligibility criteria to qualify for the benefits offered under these programs. The ways in which these programs coordinate their benefits with Part D varies.
