Phoenix 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.

Participant Passcode: 960711

Communication gaps and lack of standardization are just a few of the challenges associated with patient transfers, but the right technology platform can make the process safer and more efficient.
During this discussion, Phil Baker, director of the Rapid Response Team and Transfer Center at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNMH), will share how the TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration platform simplified the process for referring providers.
After implementing the platform, providers were able to quickly and securely send complete patient information – including pictures, videos, and files – to the accepting providers. As a result, UNM providers have been able to make faster, better-informed decisions on patient referrals, leading to a reduction in unnecessary transfers to the hospitals, increased patient throughput, and both improved patient care and physician satisfaction.
Key learning points:
- Why an integrated communication platform is a must-have strategic initiative for any health system
- How sharing the complete patient story, including pictures, videos and files, is vital to making efficient, informed, and quality-focused decisions
- How innovation and digital transformation can be led and implemented by non-clinical teams to positively impact care quality and cost reduction

Mandates, boosters and pediatric vaccines: How to successfully manage the next phase of COVID-19 vaccination
Click HERE to Register
If the mood of the initial COVID-19 vaccine rollout felt exuberant, the sentiment heading into fall feels more daunting against the backdrop of the Delta variant and ongoing vaccine hesitancy. Healthcare organizations need to manage those challenges while also figuring out effective ways to administer boosters, navigate vaccine mandates, and provide vaccines to kids 12 and over — and likely kids under 12 soon.
Luckily, we can lean on best practices from this past spring and summer to successfully tackle the tasks ahead. In this webinar, physician leaders and COVID-19 vaccination experts will share lessons from earlier efforts to ensure equitable, timely and efficient vaccine distribution in the coming months.
Key learning points:
- Best practices for adapting to changing guidance and policies
- Actionable strategies for overcoming vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers, adults and parents
- Methods for incentivizing primary care and pediatric practices to vaccinate against COVID-19, especially in vaccine deserts

Abyde’s Year-End HIPAA Review and Analysis Webinar
Tuesday, November 9, 2021 6pmPT (5pm AZ)
Value: Free Event
Description: Join us on Tuesday, November 9 at 6:00 pm PST for a short presentation covering the important first step in meeting annual HIPAA requirements – the Security Risk Analysis (SRA). The Security Risk Analysis is a requirement for all healthcare practices under the HIPAA Security Rule and it’s the first step to assessing the potential risks and vulnerabilities to protected health information held by the organization. However, 83% of practices fall short of this standard and ultimately miss the mark for having a sufficient risk management program in place.
David Hemmah, Director of Education at Abyde, is an experienced educator on HIPAA compliance. David’s background has allowed him to gain detailed insights on the challenges of achieving and maintaining compliance as an independent provider, including the difficulties and common mistakes in meeting government-mandated HIPAA requirements.
Learn more about:
– HIPAA Security Risk Analysis: What it is, why it’s important and how to avoid common misconceptions.
– What It Needs to Include: Meeting administrative, technical and physical safeguards.
– Enforcement Results: Including the recently passed HIPAA Safe Harbor Law.
– How Abyde Can Help: See for yourself how Abyde makes meeting this essential requirement simple.
