For the first time in more than three decades, the Alberta government is raising prescription costs for some seniors and Albertans under non-group coverage.

Beginning July 1, the maximum co-payment per prescription will gradually increase by $10 over 10 months, from $25 to $35 at a rate of $1 per month. The increase will be fully implemented by April 1, 2026.

It’s the first time the cost has increased since 1994.
