Summary
AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) will begin re-verifying eligibility for all 2.4 million members starting April 1, 2023, ending the COVID-19 continuous enrollment period. Members who don't respond to renewal requests may lose coverage, potentially affecting patient insurance verification and claim payments.
Action Required
Before April 1, 2023: Front desk staff must verify AHCCCS patient contact information is current in Health-e-Arizona Plus system during all appointments. Billing team should implement enhanced insurance verification processes for all AHCCCS patients and re-verify coverage monthly during the 12-month renewal period. Claims may be denied if patient coverage lapses due to missed renewal deadlines.
