Justice System Reach-In: Allows AHCCCS health plans to identify high risk/high needs inmates and participate in release planning/schedule physical/behavioral health appointments.
Pre-release Inmate Applications: Allows jail/prison/detention staff (or contractor) to apply for Medicaid for inmates prior to release from incarceration and receive an expedited eligibility determination upon release.
Hospitalized Inmate Applications: Allows jail/prison/detention staff (or contractor) to apply for temporary Medicaid coverage (FFS) for inmates to cover outside hospitalizations during incarceration.
Targeted Investments-Justice:Supports and incentivizes participating providers in moving toward more integrated and coordinated care for the justice-involved population. Contact targetedinvestments@azahcccs.gov for participation information.
