Summary
AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) is partnering with Health Current to implement a statewide electronic referral system for social determinants of health screening and community resource referrals. Healthcare providers will be able to screen patients for social risk factors and submit electronic referrals to social service agencies through their existing systems.
Action Required
By 2020: Prepare to integrate social determinants of health screening capabilities into existing clinical systems. Billing teams should coordinate with clinical staff to ensure systems can capture standard minimum elements for social risk screening and support electronic referrals to community resources when the platform launches.
