Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending title 36, chapter 29, article 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 36-2930.07; relating to the Arizona health care cost containment system.

AI Summary

This bill, effective January 1, 2027, prohibits the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), the state's Medicaid program, from requiring a 100% prepayment review for behavioral health services provided to members enrolled in the American Indian health program by a behavioral health provider, unless the provider is noncompliant with a corrective action plan or not participating in one. This means that generally, AHCCCS will not be able to hold up all payments for these services before they are rendered, aiming to streamline access to care for American Indian members while still allowing for oversight in cases of provider non-compliance.
