PHOENIX, Ariz. — In a move aimed at tackling the rising cost of prescription drugs, Governor Katie Hobbs has signed an Executive Order bringing Arizona into ArrayRx, a multi-state public pharmacy collaborative that offers steeply discounted medication prices.

Arizona now joins Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Ohio, and Connecticut in the ArrayRx Pharmacy Benefit Management platform, which negotiates lower prices for both brand-name and generic drugs. Through the ArrayRx Discount Card program, Arizonans could save up to 80% on generic medications and 18% on brand-name prescriptions.

“For too long and for too many families, rising costs, including prescription drug prices, have put the Arizona Promise out of reach. We are changing that,” said Governor Hobbs. “I’m proud to take action to keep money in Arizonans’ pockets, create pathways to health and wellbeing, and restore the Arizona Promise for families across the state.”

Trevor Douglass, Director of the Oregon Prescription Drug Program and ArrayRx Steering Committee Member, welcomed Arizona to the coalition:

“ArrayRx is more than just a program; it is a testament to the power of unity and cooperation. Together, we will work tirelessly to break down barriers and ensure that prescription medications are within reach for everyone.”
