AHCCCS to host final virtual listening session on the future of Arizona Medicaid’s 1115 Waiver

PHOENIX — Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is pleased to announce a final opportunity for community members, stakeholders, and all interested parties to participate in a Listening Session regarding the renewal of our Section 1115 Medicaid Demonstration Waiver.

The Section 1115 Waiver authorizes key programs and initiatives including, but not limited to: 

  • The Managed Care delivery system which includes all the AHCCCS Health Plans, 
  • The Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS), 
  • Targeted Investments (T.I) 2.0, 
  • Parents as Paid Caregivers Program (PPCG),  
  • KidsCare Expansion, 
  • Housing and Health Opportunities (H2O)

This session is an important opportunity for you to: 

  • Understand the existing programs under the current demonstration. 
  • Learn about the waiver renewal process and timelines, including legislative review/approval. 
  • Share your experiences, questions, and suggestions. 
  • Help shape the future of AHCCCS by providing comprehensive, quality health care to those in need. 

Why Your Voice Matters: 

The 1115 Waiver gives Arizona flexibility to design and improve Medicaid services through innovative approaches that ensure access to comprehensive, quality health care for some of the state’s most vulnerable populations. Your input helps ensure these programs reflect the real needs and priorities of our communities. 

Session Details: 

A final virtual listening session will take place on July 17 on Zoom. This session has been added in response to continued interest and feedback from stakeholders. It will focus on gathering final comments and addressing any remaining questions.
