Media Prior Plan Listing notifications are produced in data file format.  Health Plans, or their services bureaus, must login to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) FTP server and download the data file for batch processing.
Testing Prior Plan Listing notification file transmissions must be tested in coordination with the AHCCCSA ISD operations staff prior to production implementation of a new Health Plan or change in service bureau, or as a result of changes.  Typical testing of  file transmission takes approximately one week and must be completed prior to implementation of any new processing arrangement.
