About the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS)
Founded in 1982, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (written as AHCCCS and pronounced 'access') is Arizona's Medicaid program, a federal health care program jointly funded by the federal and state governments for individuals and families who qualify based on income level.
Built on a system of competition and choice, AHCCCS is a $14 billion program that operates under an integrated managed care model, through a Research and Demonstration 1115 Waiver. Contracted health plans coordinate and pay for physical and behavioral health care services delivered by more than 90,000 health care providers to more than 2 million Arizonans.
- Mission: Reaching across Arizona to provide comprehensive, quality health care to those in need.
- Vision: Shaping tomorrow's managed care...from today's experience, quality and innovation.
- Values: Passion, Community, Quality, Respect, Accountability, Innovation, Teamwork, Leadership
- Credo: Our first care is your health care.
