Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System

Most recently approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on June 18, 2015, the Arizona Health Care Containment System is Arizona's 1115 Medicaid demonstration waiver. The waiver allows the state to provide health care services through a prepaid, capitated managed care delivery model that operates statewide for both Medicaid state plan groups as well as demonstration expansion groups. The goal of the demonstration is to test health care delivery systems to provide organized and coordinated health care for both acute and long-term care that include pre-established provider networks and payment arrangements, administrative and clinical systems . . .
