The AHCCCS Director shared an important message with the AHCCCS community that highlights the member protections during the transition to the ACC contracts.

AHCCCS Complete Care: The Future of Integrated Healthcare

As of October 01, 2018, AHCCCS Complete Care plans became the integrated health plans for the majority of AHCCCS members. This transition affected approximately 1.5 million members. Through this major system initiative, AHCCCS has streamlined the service delivery system for members who had previously needed to coordinate physical and behavioral health benefits through two separate health plans, while also simplifying the payment streams for the services received by members. This transition also included the flexibility for individuals designated to Children’s Rehabilitative Services to choose their ACC plan.
