AHCCCS Provider Rate Analysis for Rates Effective October 1, 2015

The State of Arizona is currently facing a significant funding shortfall with a projected budget deficit of up to $1 billion anticipated for State Fiscal Year 2016 (July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016). To help address this shortfall, the Legislature enacted Laws 2015, Chapter 14 (SB 1475) on March 12, 2015, which authorizes AHCCCS to reduce rates for providers up to 5% in aggregate for dates of service October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.
