She is on 1 expensive medicine Skyrizi that we have help paying for. Not sure where to start how to decide whats best she didn’t qualify for D now it seems everyone on Medicare qualifies. Help

I’m not quite sure about this situation. Is she on SSDI? If you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you become eligible for Medicare after a 24-month waiting period from the start of your disability benefits. Once you qualify for Medicare, you can enroll in Part D prescription drug coverage, which helps pay for brand-name and generic medications.
But in Part D, not all medications are covered. Does she have a special arrangement with the manufacturer? In that case, contact them and see how they coordinate with Part D (if that’s what she is on).
But if she is a dependent on her mother’s work insurance, then the mother should ask the HR department for help in dealing with the letter she received.
