Summary
This is a grant funding opportunity announcement from Arizona AHCCCS for rural healthcare providers to apply for competitive grants (up to $5M) to modernize medical diagnostic equipment, implement/upgrade EHR systems, enhance health information exchange, and strengthen cybersecurity. This is not a billing policy change affecting claims processing, reimbursement rates, or coding requirements—it is informational notice of available grant funding with application deadlines of July 17–August 14, 2026.
Action Required
No billing workflow changes required. This is a funding opportunity announcement, not a coverage or reimbursement policy change. Healthcare practice leadership and grant management teams should: (1) Review grant eligibility criteria and tier funding levels ($75K–$5M); (2) Assess whether the practice qualifies as an eligible applicant (local government, academic institution, nonprofit, private sector, Native American Tribe, or school); (3) Identify clinical and technology needs aligning with eligible uses (diagnostic equipment, EHR implementation/upgrades, HIE integration, cybersecurity, or data infrastructure); (4) If interested, assign grant writer to submit application via Arizona's EUNA online grant system on or before August 14, 2026 (no extensions or grace periods allowed); (5) Consult the full RFGA document at the provided URL for detailed application requirements and scoring criteria. Billing and coding teams do not need to take action.
