ARIZON HEALTH CARE COST CONTAINMENT SYSTEM FEE-FOR-SERVICE PROVIDER BILLING MANUAL
GENERAL INFORMATION
All Arizona residents can apply for AHCCCS services or the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) program. There are many programs that individuals may qualify for in order to receive AHCCCS medical or behavioral health services or ALTCS coverage.
The programs have a number of different financial and non-financial requirements that applicants must meet, including, but not limited to:
1. Proof of Arizona residency at the time of application.
2. Proof of U.S. citizenship and identity or proof of qualified alien status.
If a non-citizen does not meet the qualified alien status requirements for full services, but meets all other requirements for the Caretaker Relative, SOBRA Child, SOBRA Pregnant Woman, Young Adult Transitional Insurance (YATI), Adult, or SSI-MAO category, the individual is eligible to receive Federal Emergency Services (FES) only.
3. An income test that requires applicants to identify all individual and/or family earned and unearned income and to provide documentation if needed.
4. A resource test that requires applicants to identify resources (e.g., homes, other property, liquid assets, vehicles, and any other item of value) and provide documentation of their value.
NOTE: A resource test is only required for the ALTCS program.
5. Other requirements
* Each program has certain non-financial and/or financial requirements that are unique to the program and are aimed at servicing specific groups of people.
Eligibility
Eligibility determination is not performed under one roof, but by various agencies, depending on the eligibility category.
For example:
* Pregnant women, caretaker relatives, children, and single individuals enter AHCCCS by way of the Department of Economic Security.
* The blind, aged or disabled, who receive Supplemental Security Income, enter through the Social Security Administration.
* Eligibility for categories such as ALTCS, SSI – Medical Assistance Only (Aged, Blind and Disabled, who do not qualify for Supplemental Security Income cash payment),
KidsCare, Freedom to Work, Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program and Medicare Cost Sharing programs are handled directly by the AHCCCS Administration.
