The AHCCCS Solutions Center (ASC) will be temporarily unavailable on Sunday, November 8, from 3:00 AM to 9:00 AM Arizona Time due to a planned system upgrade. During this time, users will be unable to access the ASC. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we complete these system improvements.
Arizona is submitting a state plan amendment to establish a new Alternative Payment Methodology (APM) for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). This new APM will establish a baseline Prospective Payment System rate for each FQHC and multiply the rate each year by a banded inflation statistic. FQHCs can receive additional increases by achieving value based metrics. This new methodology will apply to the period 10/1/18-9/30/23. More information regarding the FQHC APM SPA, can be found below.
AHCCCS consulted with tribal stakeholders regarding the FQHC APM SPA on July 26, 2018.
