Q: Why do I need to start paying co-payments now?
A: There is a small co-payment for all Part D prescription drugs. The State of Arizona has been paying your prescription drug co-payments. Now that there is a state budget deficit, the State no longer has the money to pay for Medicare Part D co-payments.

Q: Who covers prescription drug costs?
A: Medicare pays for most of the prescription drugs you need. You receive both Medicaid (AHCCCS) and Medicare benefits, including Medicare Part D Prescription Drug benefits. If you are Medicare eligible, Medicaid (AHCCCS) does not pay for your prescription drugs (with the exception of a very few types).
