AHCCCS; fee-for-service; claims
SB 1346 requires the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to notify healthcare providers within 72 hours of receiving a fee-for-service claim if administrative errors exist. If providers correct these errors or none exist, AHCCCS must approve or deny the claim within 10 business days. This bill directly affects healthcare providers, clinics, and hospitals submitting billing claims to AHCCCS, streamlining the claims review process by setting clear timeframes for both notification and final decisions.
