Bill overview
Senate Bill 1122 changes the rules for prior authorization requirements for behavioral health services within the AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System). Specifically, it limits the requirement for full prepayment review for American Indian health program members receiving services from behavioral health providers, starting January 1, 2027. The bill requires the administration to create a corrective action plan if a provider isn't compliant with prior authorization rules, and to engage with non-compliant providers in that plan. This aims to reduce barriers to accessing behavioral health care for this specific population.
