ConnPACE: Connecticut Pharmaceutical Assistance Program for the Elderly
| ConnPACE Program Description | ||
Connecticut Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract to the Elderly and Disabled Program is more commonly referred as to ConnPACE. This program provides financial assistance to non-Medicaid eligible seniors to help them afford their out-of-pocket, prescription drug co-payments and premiums. There is an open enrollment for the program each year from Nov 15 – Dec 31. The program is known as a Medicare wraparound program which means the benefits wrap around those benefits provided by a Medicare Part D plan. When making a prescription purchase, Medicare Part D is the first payer and then this program contributes towards those costs the Part D plan does not cover. |
ConnPACE Program Eligibility
To be eligible for this program, seniors must meet the following criteria:
- Be a Connecticut resident for 6 months prior to application
- Be 65 years of age or older
- Cannot be on Medicaid
- Must be on or sign up for a Medicare Part D plan
- Cannot have other prescription insurance
- The individual annual income limit is $25,100 and $33,800 for married couples.
ConnPACE Program Benefits
ConnPACE will assist with prescription costs beyond the co-payments and with Medicare Part D plan premiums. This program includes diabetic supplies.
ConnPACE Program Costs
There is a $45 annual fee for the ConnPACE program.
