Summary
AHCCCS now covers immunizations for adults 19+ at County Health Departments (no prior auth needed) and changed retroactive coverage rules to first day of application month instead of three-month lookback for most newly eligible members.
Action Required
Update billing system to reflect AHCCCS coverage for adult immunizations at County Health Departments without prior authorization requirements. Train staff that retroactive coverage now begins first day of application month for most new members (pregnant women and children under 19 still get 3-month lookback). Verify member eligibility using HEAplus system for more accurate determinations.
