- SPAPs provide subsidies to help low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities pay for prescription drugs.
- They are state-funded programs, so their eligibility requirements and benefits vary from state to state.
- SPAPs often cover a limited number of drugs, so beneficiaries may have to pay out of pocket for some or all of their medications.
- Income and asset limits determine eligibility for these programs, and certain groups may be given priority for enrollment, such as low-income seniors or individuals with disabilities who are also eligible for Medicaid.
