Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC)
EPIC, administered by the New York State Department of Health, helps many elders cope with prescription drug costs. It covers those who do not have adequate insurance coverage for prescription drugs and who are not eligible for Medicaid. EPIC will continue to exist and will work with Medicare prescription coverage.
