Cost Share

Some clients must pay a part of their monthly drug costs at their pharmacy. We call this a cost share. Cost share amounts vary. We base them on income, insurance status, and EIP group assignment. Cost shares are higher when EIP must pay a higher insurance premium because a client uses tobacco. Eligibility and services may change. Call us for more information. Our number is 360-236-3426 or 877-376-9316 (toll free).
