Proposed State Rules
AHCCCS proposed rules are published in the Arizona Administrative Register (A.A.R.) for public review.
Governor Janice Brewer's Regulatory Review Plan, issued in January, 2009,
suspended most rulemaking until June 30, 2010. Rulemaking that was already
initiated will remain in proposed status until a public hearing can be held
after the suspension period expires.
Cost-sharing/Copayments
The DRA created section 1916A of Title XIX (42 U.S.C. 1396o-1) which permits states to impose higher than nominal copayments on certain populations with incomes over 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The AHCCCS Administration plans to move forward using this authority to change the copayment requirements for those members under the Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA) program with income over 100% of the FPL and any other changes required to conform to 1916A of Title XIX.
Civil Monetary Penalties (CMP)
The Administration has initiated the following rulemaking regarding Civil Monetary Penalties as result of a 5-year-rule-review approved by the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council on December 2, 2008.
