Thurs Feb 24, 2011
On February 23, 2011, the Arizona Senate Appropriations Committee voted on a measure that would terminate the AHCCCS program. Governor Brewer opposes the termination of the AHCCCS program and Director Betlach submitted testimony in opposition to the bill.
To all AHCCCS members and providers, this proposal only passed through one Committee and has a very long way to go in the legislative process before it would ever become law. The AHCCCS website will provide updates on any developments regarding this measure so continue to check it regularly for more information. This will allow our customer service operators to address the day-to-day issues AHCCCS members have and assist us to serve our members timely.
