Overview

Prohibits the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) from allowing its employees to work remotely.

History

Established in 1981, AHCCCS is Arizona's Medicaid program that oversees contracted health plans for the delivery of health care to individuals and families who qualify for Medicaid and other medical assistance programs. Through contracted health plans across the state, AHCCCS delivers health care to qualifying individuals including low-income adults, their children or people with certain disabilities. Members must meet certain financial and nonfinancial requirements to be eligible for AHCCCS (A.R.S. § 36-2901).

The AHCCCS baseline FY 2027 operating budget includes 2,459.3 full-time equivalent employees (JLBC).
