Targeted Investments 2.0 Program Overview
The Targeted Investments Program (TI 2.0) aligns with AHCCCS’ strategic plan and Arizona’s Section 1115 Waiver to support and incentivize providers to develop and enhance comprehensive whole person care systems that effectively address the social risk factors that adversely affect health. Eligible Medicaid provider organizations that meet certain benchmarks will receive financial incentives through managed care plans for developing infrastructure and protocols to optimize coordination of services designed to meet the member’s acute, behavioral, and health-related social needs (HRSN) and address identified health inequities among their patient population.
