This comprehensive application, designed for Arizona residents, serves as the entry point to valuable medical assistance and savings on Medicare premiums for those who meet specific eligibility criteria. Individuals over age 65, those who are blind or have a disability, and anyone eligible for Medicare can utilize this form to potentially access a range of healthcare benefits. With options to apply online for added convenience through the Health-e-Arizona Plus system, the application process is streamlined for user ease. Eligibility hinges on various factors including income levels, residency, and citizenship status or meeting Medicaid requirements. For those seeking AHCCCS Medical Assistance, coverage spans an impressive array of services from prescription medications to emergency medical care, aiming to cater comprehensively to the healthcare needs of individuals and families. Moreover, the form delineates qualifications for Medicare Savings Programs, targeting assistance with Medicare premiums, copayments, and deductibles across three distinct programs based on income limits and benefits. Noteworthy is the assurance that most beneficiaries of AHCCCS Medical Assistance will not face a monthly premium, although some exceptions apply. Designed with residents' diverse needs in mind, the application also accommodates American Indians and Alaskan Natives under specific provisions ensuring broader accessibility. The ultimate goal of this application process is not only to facilitate entry into these vital assistance programs but also to ensure that eligible Arizonans can navigate their healthcare journey with a bit more ease and a lot less financial strain.

What does AHCCCS Medical Assistance cost? Premiums

Most people do not have to pay a monthly premium for AHCCCS Medical Assistance. Some people with income too high to qualify for AHCCCS Medical Assistance with no monthly premium may be able to get it by paying a monthly premium. If you have to pay a premium, the monthly premium amounts are:

$10 - $70 for KidsCare

$10 - $35 per person for employed people with disabilities

American Indians and Alaskan Natives: Per federal law, American Indians enrolled with a federally recognized tribe, children and grandchildren of American Indians enrolled with a federally recognized tribe and certain Alaskan Natives do not have to pay a premium. To get AHCCCS Medical Assistance at no cost, you must give us proof of tribal enrollment.

Co-payments

A co-payment is the amount you pay a health care provider when you receive a medical service. Your co-payment amount will vary depending on which AHCCCS program you are enrolled in and the services you need. For some AHCCCS programs, the provider can deny services if the co- payments are not made. Co-payments for services are:

$2.30 to $10.00 for prescriptions

$0 to $30.00 for non-emergency use of an emergency room

$2.30 to $3.00 for physical, occupational or speech therapy

$3.40 to $5.00 for outpatient visits for evaluation and management services including doctor’s office visits

Remember to report any changes in income because this may change your co-payment amount.

The following people are never asked to pay co-payments:

Children under age 19.

Individuals up through age 20 eligible to receive services from the Children’s Rehabilitative Services (CRS) program.

People who receive hospice care.

People determined to be Seriously Mentally Ill (SMI) by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

American Indian members who are active or previous users of the Indian Health Service, tribal health programs operated under Public Law 93-638 or urban Indian health programs.

People who are acute care members and who are residing in nursing homes or residential facilities

such as an Assisted Living Home and only when the acute care member’s medical condition would otherwise require hospitalization. The exemption from copayments for acute care members is limited to 90 days per contract year.

In addition, co-payments are never charged for the following services for anyone:

Hospitalizations

Emergency services

Family planning services and supplies

Services paid for on a fee-for-service basis

Pregnancy-related health care including tobacco cessation treatment for pregnant women

How does AHCCCS Medical Assistance work?

If you are approved for AHCCCS Medical Assistance, you will receive your health care from an AHCCCS Complete Care (ACC) plan unless:

You are American Indian and you choose American Indian Health Program as your health plan.

You are approved for one of the Medicare Savings Programs.

AHCCCS can only pay for your emergency services because of your status with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. If you are approved for emergency services only, you may

receive medical services from any provider (doctor, hospital, etc.) that has an agreement to bill AHCCCS for covered emergency services.

How does a health plan work?

The health plan works with health care providers (doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, etc.) to provide all AHCCCS covered services.

The health plan will send you a member handbook once you are enrolled.

You can call the health plan if you have any questions about your benefits or services or if you

need an accommodation because of a disability or interpreter services. The phone number for your health plan’s member or customer services can be found on your AHCCCS ID Card and in your Member Handbook.

How can I get behavioral health services?

You can go through your primary doctor, or

Call the behavioral health telephone number on your AHCCCS ID Card.

What if I have Medicare or other health insurance?

Be sure to tell your health plan that you have Medicare or any other health insurance.

If your doctor does not contract with your AHCCCS Complete Care (ACC) plan, your doctor must call the ACC plan to coordinate care or you may be responsible for any Medicare or other health insurance co-payments or deductibles.

If you are in an HMO, you should pick a primary doctor who works with both your HMO and your ACC plan.

If you have Medicare, your prescription coverage under AHCCCS is limited. If you have questions about prescriptions, call 1-800-MEDICARE (633-4227), or your AACC plan.

What do primary doctors and specialists do?

Once enrolled, you will get a list of primary doctors in your area from the health plan. You must choose your primary doctor or one will be assigned to you. You have the right to change your primary doctor at any time by calling your health plan’s member or customer services. Your primary doctor will:

Take care of your health care.

Be responsible for authorizing your non-emergency medical services.

Be the first person you go to for non-emergency medical care.

Send you to a specialist when needed.

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF APPLICANTS/RECIPIENTS

You have the RIGHT to:

1.Be treated fairly and equally regardless of race, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, or political beliefs.

2.To apply for AHCCCS Medical Benefits and to be given a notice that tells you if you are eligible or not.

3.Review AHCCCS manuals that show the rules and regulations of the AHCCCS program if you want to know the reason why your application is denied.

4.Have all information you give regarding your eligibility kept private according to state and federal law.

5.A fair hearing if you disagree with an adverse action taken by the AHCCCS Administration. Adverse action means your application for AHCCCS services was denied, your AHCCCS benefits were ended or your AHCCCS services were reduced. You may also request a hearing if a decision is not made on your application within 45 days and the delay is due to AHCCCS. Your hearing will be conducted by an Administrative Law Judge and a decision will be issued by the AHCCCS Director. You have the right to review your case record before the hearing. You have the right to represent yourself or to have someone else represent you. If you wish to ask for a hearing, your request must be in writing and mailed or delivered to the Office of Administrative Legal Services, 801 East Jefferson, MD 6200, Phoenix, Arizona 85034 or faxed to 602-253-9115.

You have the RESPONSIBILITY to:

1.Provide AHCCCS with the needed information to correctly determine your eligibility and authorize AHCCCS to investigate and contact any sources necessary to confirm the accuracy of the information which pertains to eligibility.

2.Take necessary steps to obtain any annuities, pensions, retirement and disability benefits to which you may be entitled, including, but not limited to Social Security benefits, Railroad Retirement, Veteran’s benefits and unemployment compensation.

3.To report payments going in or out of your trust, if you have one.

If you are eligible you MUST:

1.Notify the AHCCCS/ALTCS office as soon as possible but no later than within 10 days by phone, letter or in person, whenever there are any changes in your income, address, marital status, Medicare coverage, household composition, or other circumstances which could affect your eligibility.

2.Cooperate with Arizona or Federal personnel in the completion of a quality control review of your eligibility.

PROVIDING SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS and IMMIGRATION STATUS

You must provide or apply for a Social Security number (SSN) for every applicant. Immigrants who are not legally able to obtain a SSN are not required to provide one. This is required under the Social Security Act (SSA) of 1935 (Section 1137) as amended by P.L. 98-369. Providing a Social Security number for someone who is not applying is optional. We will not use your SSN as your AHCCCS identification number. Your SSN will be used to check the identity of those receiving assistance, to prevent double payments, to determine benefits available under other programs, to verify state residency or other conditions of eligibility, and to make mass annual changes more easily. Your SSN will be used in computer matching available through the State Income and Eligibility Verification System (IEVS) to obtain wage, income and other information from: (a) the IRS, (b) the Social Security Administration, (c) Arizona Department of Economic Security, and (d) other states administering TANF, Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance, Food Stamps, Programs under Title I, X, XIV, XVI of the SSA and other state wage information collection agencies. AHCCCS will use the information available from this computer matching to verify income and whether you have Medicare. When the information you give is questionable, AHCCCS will verify the information by

contacting other sources.

(Applicable only to AHCCCS Medical Assistance and the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program)

Persons, such as an absent spouse or parent, who are legally responsible for providing medical support

Private or employer-sponsored disability insurance

This includes establishing paternity of my children, unless I can prove good cause not to do so.
