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 reimbursement methodology for specialty drugs dispensed at IHS/638 facilities. Drugs on the Specialty drug list would be reimbursed with a professional fee plus the lesser of the federal Supply Schedule Unite Price or Wholesale Acquisition Cost. IHS/638 facilities will need to utilize the National Council for Prescription Drug Adjudication Standard to claim reimbursement. More information regarding the IHS/638 Specialty Drugs SPA, can be found below.
AHCCCS consulted with tribes regarding the IHS/638 Specialty Drugs SPA on January 11, 2018. Below is a link to more information regarding the 1/11/18 Tribal Consultation.
