PACE - Prescription Assistance
If you are having difficulties obtaining your refills, please contact PACE cardholder services at 1-800-225-7223.
PACE Prescription Assistance Program
Pennsylvania's prescription assistance programs for older adults, PACE and PACENET, offer low-cost prescription medication to qualified residents, age 65 and older. For more information, call 1-800-225-7223.
Eligibility
PACE and PACENET eligibility is determined by your previous calendar year’s income. Since 2014, Social Security Medicare Part B premiums are excluded from income. This change has the same effect as raising the income limits by that amount. For most Medicare beneficiaries, this amount is $1,626.00 per person for a year. For married couples, the excluded amount would be $3,252.00 for a year.
