Highmark is Proud to Participate in PACE and PACENET!


 

 

What are PACE and PACENET?

PACE and PACENET are Pennsylvania's prescription assistance programs for older adults that offer 
low-cost prescription medication to qualified residents, age 65 and older.


Do you have clients who may qualify for either of these programs?
 

PACE and PACENET eligibility is determined by previous calendar year's income. For most Medicare beneficiaries, this amount is $1,258.80 per person for a year. For married couples, the excluded amount would be $2,517.60 for a year.
