Bill > HB2228

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes to require the director of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to annually apply for waivers or amendments to the current Section 1115 waiver. The key provisions include: (1) instituting a work requirement for able-bodied adults receiving AHCCCS services, with certain exemptions; (2) placing a lifetime limit of 5 years of benefits on able-bodied adults, with certain exceptions; and (3) developing and imposing cost-sharing requirements to deter non-emergency use of emergency departments and ambulance services. The bill also specifies that these provisions do not apply to American Indians or Alaska Natives who are eligible for services through the Indian Health Service or tribal/urban Indian health programs.
