Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) abuse -
 
 
The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is Arizona's Medicaid program and the State of Arizona's health care program for persons who do not qualify for Medicaid.
 
AHCCCS has received national acclaim as a model for other Medicaid programs, and the approach has been recommended to other states by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that oversees AHCCCS.
 
AHCCCS contracts with health plans and other program contractors, paying them a monthly "capitation" amount prospectively for each enrolled member. The plan or contractor is then at risk to deliver the necessary services within the capitated amount. AHCCCS receives federal, state and county funds to operate, plus some monies from Arizona's tobacco tax.
 
 
Is Arizona welfare set up for fraud?
 
The AHCCCS application says:
"AHCCCS Health Insurance (except nursing home care) will not affect anyone’s immigrant status. AHCCCS will not report any information to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Service (BCIS, formerly INS)."
