Bill > SB1632

This bill, concerning the Department of Economic Security (DES) and its credentialing processes, establishes a new section in Arizona law that provides qualified vendors with an opportunity to correct deficiencies in their applications for credentialing or recredentialing, which is the process of verifying a vendor's qualifications to contract with the department to provide services to recipients of DES programs. Specifically, if the department initially denies an application due to deficiencies, the qualified vendor will have fourteen business days from receiving the denial notice to correct those issues. If the vendor notifies the department in writing within that timeframe that the deficiencies have been addressed, the department must reevaluate the application. Should the application still be denied after reevaluation, the qualified vendor retains the right to appeal the decision according to existing state law. A "qualified vendor" is defined as any person applying to contract with the department to provide services to program recipients.
