The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is Arizona's Medicaid agency that offers health care programs to serve Arizona residents. Designed to deliver care to low-income individuals, it functions under the guidance of both state and federal mandates, yet does not specifically have a parent company. AHCCCS collaborates with various health plans across the state to provide a wide array of services, ensuring comprehensive coverage that includes physical and behavioral health services. Its overarching goal is to improve health care quality, access, and cost-effectiveness for the people it serves, making health care more accessible to its members. By focusing on integrated care models and quality service delivery through managed care organizations, AHCCCS aims to meet the health needs of its beneficiaries effectively.
