Prescription Coverage

The state House of Representatives on Oct. 11 voted unanimously to approve legislation authored by Rep. Frank Farry, R-Bucks, which would change income eligibility guidelines for the Pacenet program, extending prescription drug coverage to more than 17,000 older Pennsylvanians. The PACE and Pacenet programs provide low-cost prescription drugs to nearly 282,000 Pennsylvanians age 65 and older. Both programs are funded from proceeds of the Pennsylvania Lottery.
