PAAD provides coverage for prescribed legend drugs, insulin and insulin supplies, and needled and syringes for injectable medicines used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

El copago del PAAD será de 5 $ por cada receta de medicamento genérico cubierta por el PAAD y de 7 $ por cada receta de medicamento de marca cubierta por el PAAD. Los beneficiarios de la PAAD pueden pagar menos por los medicamentos genéricos si su plan de medicamentos recetados de Medicare les cobra menos que el copago de 5 $ de la PAAD por los genéricos.

PAAD does not pay for diabetic testing supplies (e.g., test strips and lancets). If PAAD beneficiaries have health insurance coverage, such as Medicare Part B that pays for diabetic testing supplies a pharmacy must bill that
insurance plan. PAAD will not pay for them.

Only drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration are covered. Drugs purchased outside the State of New Jersey are not covered, nor is any pharmaceutical product whose manufacturer has not agreed to provide
rebates to the State of New Jersey.
