Summary
AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) is implementing new ROPA registration requirements for all providers who refer, order, prescribe, or attend AHCCCS members, even if they don't bill Medicaid directly. A streamlined application will be available in late 2022 for qualifying providers, and claims from unregistered ROPA providers will not be reimbursed after implementation.
Action Required
Before late 2022: All providers who refer, order services, prescribe medications, or certify medical necessity for AHCCCS members must register as ROPA providers using the new streamlined application (if eligible) or standard registration. Billing team must identify all providers requiring registration and ensure compliance before implementation. Failure to register will result in claim denials for services originating from unregistered providers.
