Delaware Prescription Assistance Program (DPAP)
| Delaware Prescription Assistance Program Description | ||
The Delaware Prescription Assistance Program, or DPAP for short, is a financial assistance program designed to help seniors with their cost of prescription drugs. Participants cannot be on Medicaid nor have other prescription insurance except for Medicare Part D. This program will pay as much as 75% of seniors’ out-of-pocket prescription costs. DPAP is 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. |
