Are You Experiencing a Gap in Healthcare Coverage? Get the Care You Need

The federal COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) has ended, which means the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is reviewing Medicaid coverage eligibility. They are now required to disenroll Medicaid members who do not meet certain criteria, following the same process they did before the pandemic.

If you are currently insured through Medicaid, make sure you complete the steps provided by the AHCCCS to ensure you do not lose coverage.

Over 2 million Arizona residents are currently using Medicaid as their health insurance coverage, and many will no longer be eligible for coverage after the redeterminations are complete. If you had Medicaid coverage during the pandemic and are now experiencing a gap in coverage, we know how overwhelming that can feel.

We have compiled the resources below to ensure you still have access to the care you need to keep you and your family healthy in the meantime.

1 . Sliding Scale Fee Schedule Clinics Provide the Care You Need

Sliding Scale Fee Schedules are offered by certain healthcare providers for patients who need access to affordable healthcare. Patient fees and eligibility are determined based on annual income and family size. Schedules are established and implemented based on federal poverty levels to ensure that a non-discriminatory, uniform, and reasonable charge is consistently and evenly applied.

There are several healthcare clinics around the Valley that offer this option for patients. These facilities are a great option for anyone who needs to see a doctor while they are experiencing a gap in healthcare coverage.

Many of the providers are in-network with Arizona Care Network (ACN), which means they hold themselves to a standard of high-quality, affordable healthcare. Check out a list of the local facilities we recommend below:
