Bill overview
Senate Bill 1086 aims to change how Arizona’s Medicaid program, AHCCCS, reimburses healthcare providers. Specifically, it allows AHCCCS contractors to reimburse non-contracted providers for lab services at rates comparable to those paid to contracted providers. The bill also prohibits contractors from requiring prior authorization for diagnostic services and from retaliating against providers who refer patients to non-contracted facilities. This legislation intends to foster competition and prevent monopolies within the healthcare system.
