Premiums and Cost Sharing
Arizona has obtained waiver approval to charge premiums to certain expansion adults but the state has not implemented as of January 2020. In 2019, the courts struck down Kentucky’s waiver that included monthly charges for adults, and, under new state leadership, the state ultimately waiver withdrew its waiver request. New Mexico also had obtained a waiver to charge premiums for certain adults starting in 2019; however, the new governor amended the waiver to remove this authority and does not intend to implement premiums.
