C CRS Designation Changes

Policy

1)    Removal of Designation

CRS designation ends when the customer:

·         Is disenrolled from AHCCCS;

·         Transitions to ALTCS/EPD and is enrolled with a program contractor;

·         Asks to remove the CRS designation; or

·         No longer meets the medical eligibility requirements for the CRS program.

NOTE      If a medical condition is removed from the list of CRS qualifying conditions in R9-22-1303, it does not impact a customer’s CRS designation for customers who are already in active treatment for that condition.  

2)    Re-designation

CRS customers under age 21 that lose AHCCCS eligibility but regain it within 12 months will get a CRS designation without a new application.

Customers may also get a CRS designation without a new application when they have opted out of CRS, but change their minds within 12 months.

The AHCCCS CRS Unit may use the information already in the system to determine if the customer is eligible for CRS , or may need updated documentation.
