49 Pa. Code § 27.506 - Patient eligibility
(a)
Conditions of eligibility. To be eligible for the Cancer Drug
Repository Program, a patient shall certify that the patient meets the
following criteria:
(1) The patient is
diagnosed with cancer.
(2) The
patient does not possess or has limited prescription drug coverage related to
the treatment of the patient's cancer so that the coverage limits prevent the
patient from obtaining cancer drugs.
(3) The patient does not meet the eligibility
requirements under the State Medical Assistance Program that provides
prescription drug coverage related to the treatment of cancer.
(b)
Financial eligibility
for the Cancer Drug Repository Program.
(1) A Pennsylvania resident who meets the
eligibility requirements in subsection (a) is financially eligible as an
"indigent patient" for the Cancer Drug Repository Program if the resident meets
the income standards in this subsection.
(2) The income limits for eligibility for the
Cancer Drug Repository Program are based upon the prior year's family income
not to exceed 350% of the prior year's Department of Health and Human Services
Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for the appropriate family size. The income
limits will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania
Bulletin and posted on the Board's web site at least once a year as
the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines change.

determining eligibility under the Cancer Drug Repository Program.
