AHCCCS Encourages Flu Vaccinations with Member Gift Card and Provider Incentives

On August 31, 2020, Governor Ducey announced a plan of action to increase influenza vaccination rates and urge Arizonans to get the flu shot. As part of these efforts, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is implementing a multi-pronged strategy to: enable certified pharmacists to administer the flu vaccine to children currently enrolled in AHCCCS; increase payments to providers for flu vaccines and vaccine administration by 10 percent; and provide a $10 gift card to all managed care members who obtain an influenza vaccination.

All AHCCCS managed care health plans are offering a $10 gift card to every AHCCCS member who receives a flu shot this season (for Contract Year ending 9/30/21).

To receive a $10 gift card, members must:

• Step 1: Get a flu shot at any provider in their health plan network.
• Step 2: See their health plan’s website or contact their health plan's customer care center at the number below to learn how to request a $10 gift card.
