Tucson Public Forum
The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is requesting a waiver of the requirement to provide three months of retroactive coverage to new AHCCCS members. AHCCCS is seeking the flexibility to limit retroactive coverage to the month of application, consistent with Arizona’s policy prior to passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Summary
Under current law, if a new AHCCCS member would have qualified for AHCCCS coverage during any portion of three months immediately preceding the month in which the member applied for AHCCCS coverage, AHCCCS is required to reimburse providers for any AHCCCS covered service received by the member during that period.1 To better align Medicaid policies with commercial health insurance coverage, AHCCCS is seeking the flexibility to limit retroactive coverage to the month of application, consistent with Arizona’s policy prior to passage of the Affordable Care Act. Under the proposed policy, individuals will continue to receive retroactive coverage effective as of the first day of the month in which the Medicaid application was filed.
This proposal to waive Prior Quarter Coverage promotes the objectives of the Medicaid program by (1) creating efficiencies that ensure Medicaid’s sustainability for members over the long term; (2) encouraging members to obtain and maintain health coverage, even when healthy; and (3) encouraging members to apply for Medicaid expeditiously when they believe they meet the criteria for eligibility.
Arizona will increase efforts to educate and encourage Arizona residents to apply for AHCCCS coverage.
Following the public forums, the Proposal to Waive Prior Quarter Coverage will be presented at the State Medicaid Advisory Committee (SMAC) meeting on February 7, 2018.
The public will have the opportunity to review and comment on the proposal in person at public forums throughout the State and in writing via e-mail to [email protected] or mail to:
AHCCCSc/o Office of Intergovernmental Relations
801 E. Jefferson Street, MD 4200
Phoenix, AZ 85034
All comments received by February 25, 2018, will be reviewed, considered and included in the final proposal sent to CMS.
Conference call-in number: 1-877-820-7831
Participant Passcode: 960711

DMSG: Creating The Foundation for Excellence in Governance
Please join us June 8th at 11:30 am MT for a DMSG Webinar presentation with Tommy Thomas PhD, CEO of Opposite Strengths Inc. This presentation is about creating and running a great healthcare system starting at the top with the governing board. In order for the organization to operate at peak performance, the governing board sets the tone and example for creating a culture that attracts and retains top caliber employees.
A key performance indicator for the governing board is how successful they are in collaborating and reaching consensus while valuing different opinions and viewpoints. The governing board is no different from any other department, team, or group in the overall system in that they are composed of an interlocking system of interpersonal relationships. This webinar will examine, explain, and demonstrate the fundamental aspects of a collaborative relationship that preserves the independence and integrity of the individuals involved.
TAKE AWAYS
- Understand your unique way of operating from the same six fundamental psychological strengths that all people possess.
- Discover your natural way of communicating by uncovering which of the four relationship tendencies you use most often in your relationships.
- Increase your own psychological agility so that you can create, develop, and maintain more productive and effective relationships with others.
- Realize at a deep level that the most important function of a governing board is to create a culture in which all stakeholders are able to do personally meaningful work as a valued and trusted member of a world class organization dedicated to achieving a worthwhile cause.
