Community Presentations

AHCCCS “Hot Topics” can help AHCCCS members, their family members, stakeholders, advocates, and community members learn more and interact with Arizona’s Medicaid program. Join us December 16 for two Hot Topics:
Traditional Healing: In partnership with leaders of Tribal nations, AHCCCS has received approval to cover traditional healing services provided through Indian Health Service (IHS) and Tribally-operated health facilities (pending legislative approval). Learn about the program’s overview, eligibility, covered services, and the next steps of implementation.
Automated Member Surveys: As required by Laws 2024, Chapter 200, (SB 1609) AHCCCS is studying how we could implement real-time, automated surveys to members with a serious mental illness or their representatives. The feasibility study will help determine potential cost to develop and distribute real-time surveys, identify quality-of-care concerns, and respond to member needs. AHCCCS is seeking input from the community on how members would like to receive and interact with surveys.

Arizona House Bill 2442 was passed into law in 2016, and became known as Jacob’s Law. It helped to correct many issues facing foster, kinship, and adopted children who receive behavioral health services.

• Overview of Jacob’s Law,
• Review and Use of the DCS Placement Packet,
• Legal Rights & Protections for Children and Resource Parents, and
• Covered Services.

Training length is two (2) hours. Certificate of attendance is available upon request after attending the full presentation.
