AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to expand coverage for traditional healing services under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), a state program providing health insurance to low-income residents. Specifically, it adds "urban Indian organizations" to the list of entities that can provide traditional healing services, alongside the Indian Health Service or tribal facilities, provided the member qualifies for services through these entities and the services are approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and are subject to available funding. This change aims to broaden access to culturally relevant healthcare for eligible Native American members within the AHCCCS program.
