Summary
AHCCCS is renewing Arizona's Section 1115 Medicaid Demonstration and inviting public stakeholder input on the renewal proposal. This is a planning/feedback phase for potential changes to Arizona's Medicaid delivery system, managed care programs, ALTCS, KidsCare, and other initiatives affecting 1.8 million members. No immediate billing changes are required at this time, but practices should monitor for subsequent policy updates following the public comment period.
Action Required
By September 6, 2026: Optional but recommended - Leadership and compliance staff should review the AHCCCS 1115 Waiver Renewal Proposal details and consider submitting written feedback on behalf of the practice. Submit comments to waiverpublicinput@azahcccs.gov or by mail to AHCCCS c/o OOD – Division of Public Policy and Strategic Planning, 150 N. 18th Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85007. Monitor the AHCCCS website (https://www.azahcccs.gov) for the final waiver renewal decision and any subsequent policy guidance. No immediate billing workflow changes are required at this stage, as this is a renewal planning phase, not an effective policy change.
