NJ PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICE REGISTRY
The NJ Prescription Drug Price Registry is now available for you to compare the retail prices charged by many pharmacies for the 150 most frequently prescribed prescription drugs. You can access the list by calling the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs at 1-800-242-5846, or log on to the website: www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/njpdr/index.htm.

Checking drug prices is especially beneficial for people who are uninsured, are about to enter, or are in the Medicare D "donut hole." NOTE: If you are on PAAD, this will not be helpful to you, since with PAAD, the cost remains at $5.00 for each prescription.
