1. Establishes,
subject to approval by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),
the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) Recovery Support and
Accountability Program (Program) to incentivize providers to monitor and
support members and increase successful recovery.

enrolled in school or job skills training as well as the number of members who
own a home or who live with a friend or family member.
4. Requires
the AHCCCS report to include the number of graduated members that are
identified as homeless or are in supportive sober living.
5. Requires, by October 1,
2025, AHCCCS to notify the Director of Legislative Council in writing of
either:
a) the date that CMS
approves the request to implement the Program; or
b)
the
denial of the request.
6. Conditions the
enactment of this legislation on approval by CMS, no later than October 1,
2025.
