First, section 1002(a)(1)(A) of the SUPPORT Act eliminates the requirement that an individual not be eligible for another mandatory eligibility group (other than the adult group) to be eligible for the former foster care children group. As a result, a person may be enrolled in the former foster care children group even if the individual meets the eligibility requirements for a separate mandatory group described in section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i) of the Act, so long as the individual is not actually enrolled in such group. Second, section 1002(a)(1)(B) and (C) of the SUPPORT Act expanded eligibility for the former foster care children group by requiring that states cover individuals who aged out of foster care in a state other than the state in which they are currently seeking Medicaid coverage. Specifically, sections 1002(a)(1)(B) and (C) of the SUPPORT Act amend sections 1902(a)(10)(A)(i) (IX)(cc) and (dd) of the Act, respectively, to replace each reference to “the State” with a reference to “a State.” (Emphasis added). This means that all states must cover in the former foster care children group individuals who aged out of foster care in another state, as long as they otherwise meet the eligibility requirements for this group. The Arkansas Medicaid State Plan is being updated to reflect these changes.

Revision: HCFA-PM-85-14 (BERC) SEPTEMBER 1985 ATTACHMENT 4.18-A Page3 OMB: 0938-0193 STATE PLAN UNDER TITLE XIX OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT State: Arizona D. The procedures for implementing and enforcing the exclusions from cost sharing contained in 42 CFR 447.53(b) are described below: Providers are able to access and track copayment information from the verification systems used by AHCCCS providers (excluding IVR) such as EVS, the web, and HIPAA transactions 270 and 271. The verification system will identify the member's eligibility category where a specific copay level is assigned by population. It will also identify whether the member is subject to a mandatory or nominal copayment and specify the copayment amount by service level. This system also identifies services which are exempt from copayments. Prior to implementation, AHCCCS provided information all providers and contractors which described the copayment requirements by eligibility category, including descriptions of exempt services and populations. This communication is posted on the website along with the rule, which sets forth the copayment requirements and prohibitions. Contracted health plans receive daily and monthly rosters from AHCCCS that identify each member's cost sharing designation (nominal, mandatory or exempt). In addition, AHCCCS sends the health plans a reference extract table which is used to identify the copay amounts for specific services by the member's cost sharing category. Interim Plan: October 1, 2010-April 30, 2011: To ensure that American Indians are exempted from cost sharing, fee for service users, who represent the vast majority of American Indian (AI) AHCCCS recipients, will be exempted from cost sharing.

Revision: June 2010 OMB Approved # Attachment 4.18-F Page 7 STATE PLAN UNDER TITLE XIX OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT Statefferritory: Arizona E. Method for tracking beneficiaries' liability for premiums and cost-sharing: 1. Describe the methodology used by the State to identify beneficiaries who are subject to premiums or to cost sharing for specific items or services. Alternative cost sharing is only applied to persons determined eligible for Transitional Medical Assistance under section 1925 through the State's normal eligibility redetermination process, which includes reviews initiated by eligible persons who report an increase in income. Interim Plan: October 1, 2010- April 30, 2011 :To ensure that American Indians are exempted from cost sharing, fee for service users, who represent the vast majority of American Indian (AI) AHCCCS recipients, will be exempted from cost sharing. Because some AI's choose to receive services through MCO's, the AHCCCS Client Advocate Office will work with managed care enrollees to exempt AI's served under managed care. Final Plan: Effective no later than May 1, 2011 :As a result of an analysis of FFS claims and encounters, AHCCCS will identify all active and previous users of Indian Health Service Facilities, Tribally-Operated 638 Health Programs and Urban Indian Health Programs (Iff/Us) for which AHCCCS has provided reimbursement. All users identified though this analysis will be flagged and exempted from all cost sharing, and this information will be communicated to MCOs' and providers. The AHCCCS Client Advocate office will also work closely with the identified population to ensure that cost sharing is not applied to any American Indian who has ever utilized an 1/T/U or received a service through referral by Contract Health Services. 2. Describe how the State identifies for providers, ideally through the use of automated systems, whether cost sharing for a specific item or service may be imposed on an individual beneficiary and whether the provider may require the beneficiary, as a condition for receiving the item or service, to pay the cost sharing charge. Contracted health plans will be informed of the services subject to copayments and their corresponding dollar amounts. Health plans will make this information available to their network of providers through the 834- the Benefit Enrollment Maintenance Transaction, a HIP AA required format used as the roster to contracted health plans. Additionally, all providers will be able to access information from the verification systems used by AHCCCS providers (except IVR) such as EVS, the web, and HIPAA transactions 270 and 271. Information regarding whether the member is subject to a mandatory or nominal copayment, when copayments can not be charged and what a member's specific copayment level is by service type. 3. Describe the State's processes (that do not rely on beneficiaries) used for tracking beneficiaries' incurred premiums and cost sharing under sections 1916 and 1916A of the Act if families are at risk of reaching their total aggregate limit for premiums and cost sharing, how the State informs beneficiaries and providers when a beneficiary's family has incurred premiums and cost sharing up to its 5 percent aggregate limit, and how the State assures that the family is no longer subject to further premiums and cost sharing for the remainder of the monthly or quarterly cap period. The State will use available Health Plan adjudicated encounters to identify beneficiaries reaching the 5% aggregate copayment amount in a quarter by using the lowest possible family income and calculating the applicable copayment amounts for reported services during the quarter. If it is determined that a beneficiary has reached the 5% cap, the State will identify this status in the verification systems described above to inform providers that the member is not be subject to further cost sharing.

Revision: June 2010 OMB Approved # Attachment 4.18-F Page 8 STATE PLAN UNDER TITLE XIX OF THE SOCIAL SECURlTY ACT State/Territory: Arizona 4. Describe the process through which beneficiaries may request that the State reassess the family's aggregate limit for premiums and cost sharing when the family's income has changed or if a family member's Medicaid enrollment is being terminated due to nonpayment of a premium. Members are informed of applicable cost sharing requirements through the member handbook, the public website, and special copay notices provided to members prior to implementation. Members are advised they can request a reassessment of the family's aggregate limit if they believe the family's income has changed. F. Public Notice Requirements: Explain how the State meets the following public notice requirements at 42 CFR 447.76. 1. The requirement at 42 CFR 447.76(a) and (b) for making available certain information about the State's premiums and cost sharing policies and procedures to the general public, applicants, beneficiaries, and providers: AHCCCS posted the cost sharing State Plan Amendment on the public website. Additionally, AHCCCS filed the Notice of Proposed rule making and fmal rule making with the Secretary of State, made this information available on the public website, and conducted a public hearing at the Agency. A matrix of all public comments as well as the Administration's responses to each of the comments were posted to the website. Furthermore, the rulemaking process allowed for public participation at the Governor's Regulatory Review Council prior to the adoption of the rule. Member handbooks were updated to include updated information about cost sharing. Additionally, members subject to the mandatory copayments received advanced notice of the mandatory copayment requirements. AHCCCS updated the member application to describe cost sharing requirements as well as exemptions from cost sharing. 2. The requirement at 42 CFR 447.76(c) to provide the public with advance notice and the opportunity to comment prior to submitting a State plan amendment (SPA) to establish or substantially modify alternative premiums and/or cost sharing under section 1916A ofthe Act: Notice of the proposed rule and the opportunity to provide written or oral comments on the rule were published in the State Administrative Register. Following publication of the proposed rule, the agency allowed a 30 day period for submission of public comments and conducted a public hearing where oral public comments were solicited at the close of the comment period. In addition, a public hearing was conducted by a separate executive branch agency, the Governor's Regulatory Review Council, at which public comment was solicited prior to fmalization of the administrative rule. All of this information was published on both the AHCCCS and Secretary of State's websites. TN No. 10-001 Supersedes TNNo. N/A Approval Date MAY 0 6 1011 Effective Date October 1, 2010

State: ARIZONA Attachment 4.19-B Page 3a METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PAYMENT RATES OTHERTYPESOFCARE • Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) AHCCCS will utilize the following payment methodology from January 1, 2001, forward. 1) AHCCCS will establish a baseline Prospective Payment System effective January 1, 2001. The calculation will conform to section 1902(a)(15)(c) of the Social Security Act. AHCCCS will use the center/clinic's fiscal year that ends during calendar year 1999 and 2000 for the base rate calculations. Each FQHCIRHC may elect to have rates adjusted by either the BIPA 2000 methodology, or the Alternative Payment Methodology. If the FQHCIRHC elects the BIPA methodology, the Medicare Economic Index (MEl) at the beginning of each federal fiscal year (October 1st) will be used to update rates on a prospective basis. If the FQHCIRHC elects the Alternative Payment Methodology, the Physician Service Index (PSD subcomponent of the Medical Care component of the Consumer Price Index at the beginning of each federal fiscal year (October 1st) will be used to update rates on a prospective basis. Under either methodology, the baseline rates for 1999 and 2000 will be calculated based on the provider's cost data for the center/clinic's fiscal year that end during calendar year 1999 or 2000. Costs included in the base rate calculation will include all Medicaid covered services provided by the center/clinic. The calculated 1999 and 2000 base rates will be averaged by calculating a simple average ofthe costs per encounter for 1999 and 2000. The calculation is as follows: Total Medicaid costs 1999 +Total Medicaid costs 2000 = Average Cost Per Visit Total visits 1999 +Total visits 2000 These base rates will then be indexed forward utilizing the MEl from the midpoint of the cost report period being utilized, to the midpoint of the initial rate period (January 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001). Annually thereafter, the MEl for those FQHCs/RHCs selecting the BIPA methodology, or the PSI for those FQHCs/RHCs selecting the Alternative Payment Methodology, will be applied to the inflated based rates at the beginning of the federal fiscal year (October 1st). AHCCCS and the FQHCs/RHCs have agreed to supplement payments to the FQHCs/RHCs payments once the PPS baseline is established, if necessary. 2) For a center/clinic that becomes a FQHC or RHC after FY 2000, AHCCCS will calculate the initial rate using data from an established FQHC or RHC in the same or adjacent area with a similar caseload. Absent an existing FQHC or RHC with a similar caseload, the center/clinic rate will be based on projected costs subject to tests of reasonableness. Costs would be subjected to reasonable cost definitions as outlined in Section 1833(a)(3) of the Act. If a center/clinic has inadequate cost data for one of the base periods, that TNNo. 11-005 Supersedes TNNo.N/A Approval Date ___ J_U_L_1_4_20_11 __ Effective Date April I, 2011

Dear Mr. Betlach:
Enclosed is an approved copy of Arizona’s state plan amendment (SPA) 13-0005-MM, which was submitted to CMS on July 8, 2013. SPA 13-0005-MM incorporates the MAGI-based eligibility process requirements, including the single streamlined application, into Arizona’s Medicaid State Plan in accordance with the Affordable Care Act. The effective date of this SPA is October 1, 2013.
The approval of SPA 13-0005-MM includes full approval of your alternative single streamlined application — both the paper and online versions.
Enclosed is a copy of the new state plan pages and attachments to be incorporated within a separate section at the back of Arizona’s approved state plan:
$94, pages 1-2
Attachment 1 - Alternative single, streamlined paper application: Arizona Department of Economic Security/Family Assistance Administration (DES/FAA)/Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS Application for Help with Health Coverage Costs, AH-001 (10/13)

Please note that the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has an open civil rights investigation in Arizona to resolve complaints filed under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. During the course of its investigation, OCR has identified compliance concerns with Arizona's Medicaid forms and procedures for processing Medicaid applications. CMS’ review of Arizona's State Plan amendment and.proposed forms, in lieu of using the CMS Model Single Streamlined Application, was limited to an analysis of compliance
with applicable Medicaid laws and regulations. Because compliance with Federal civil rights laws is also a condition of receipt of Medicaid funding, however, HHS OCR also reviewed Arizona's forms in the context of its Title VI investigation and we sent comments to the state on behalf of OCR on August 9, 2013. HHS OCR officials met with Arizona State officials to discuss resolution measures on August 12, 2013 and CMS is happy to provide technical assistance about Medicaid issues during the course of any subsequent discussions. Both CMS and HHS OCR are committed to working together with Arizona to meet the deadlines under the Affordable Care Act to assist the State of Arizona in being ready
to launch Marketplace options in a way that ensures that both Medicaid and civil rights issues are addressed.
CMS appreciates the significant amount of work your staff dedicated to preparing this State Plan amendment. If you have any questions concerning this SPA, please contact Rebecca Bruno at 415-744- 3677, or by e-mail at Rebecca.Bruno@cms.hhs.gov.

What if | am not eligible for AHCCCS Medical Assistance?
If you are not eligible for AHCCCS Medical Assistance, you may be eligible for federal tax credits to help with your health insurance premiums. If you are not eligible for any programs through AHCCCS, we will send your information to the federal Health Insurance Marketplace to see about health insurance tax credits.
Do | need a Social Security number? Federal law requires you give a Social Security number (SSN) for anyone who wants to get AHCCCS Medical Assistance or help with Medicare costs (42 U.S.C. § 1320b-7; 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2)(C), 7 U.S.C. §§ 2011-2036, and Social Security Act (SSA) of 1935 (Section 1137) as amended by P.L. 98-369). If you or anyone you are applying for does not have a Social Security number (SSN), we will refer you to the Social Security office to apply for one. Immigrants who are not legally able to get a Social Security number are not required to give one or apply for one. Any person you are applying for who is legally able to get a Social Security number but does not have one or does not apply for one will not be eligible for benefits. * Ifyou are not applying for benefits for yourself, you do not have to give us your Social Security number. ¢ We will not use your SSN as your DES or AHCCCS identification number. ¢ We will not give any Social Security numbers to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
We use your information, including Social Security number, to: ¢ Verify identity * Collect money we overpaid you in the form of benefits ¢ Verity citizenship and immigration status Computer match with state, local and federal agencies and our other programs to verify information ¢ Verify income Share with other government agencies and their contractors to assess program management and compliance « Prevent duplicate benefits We may give your information to law enforcement officials for the purpose of arresting persons fleeing to avoid
the law
If we are not able to find proof of the information you have given us through the sources available to us, then you must provide proof of the information for us to decide if you are eligible.
DES and/or AHCCCS will keep your information for at least 7 years. Do | have to give information about my citizenship and immigration status?
¢ To get the most AHCCCES Medical Assistance benefits and/or help with Medicare costs, you need to give us information about citizenship and immigration
status for each person who is applying for help.
If you choose not give us information regarding immigration status but still want AHCCCS Medical Assistance, you may only be eligible for emergency medical services.
© You do not need to give us information about citizenship and immigration status for any person who is not applying for AHCCCS Medical Assistance and/or
help with Medicare costs.
You do need to give us information on income, resources, or other information for those who have not given us citizenship or immigration status information
to complete the application process.
Under federal law, certain non-citizens such as refugees or political asylees may qualify for medical benefits. For those non-citizens, United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidelines state that use of these benefits will not affect your ability to become a Lawful Permanent Resident.
Ifyou are not applying for benefits or if you chose not to provide citizenship or immigration information, we will not try to find out this information from USCIS.
We will not report you, a family, or a household member to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unless you inform us that you, your family or a
household member is in the U.S. illegally.

How does AHCCCS Medical Assistance work?
If you are approved for AHCCCS Medical Assistance, you will receive your health care from an AHCCCS health plan unless:
¢ You are American Indian and you choose American Indian Health Program as your health plan.
* You are just asking for help with your Medicare costs. If you are approved for one of the Medicare Savings Programs (QMB), AHCCCS may pay your Medicare premiums and Medicare coinsurance and deductibles.
« AHCCCS can only pay for your emergency services because of your status with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If you are
approved for emergency services only, you may receive medical services from any provider (doctor, hospital, etc.) that has an agreement to bill AHCCCS for
covered emergency services.
How does a health plan work? The health plan works with the health care providers (doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, etc.) to provide all AHCCCS covered services. The health plan will send you a member handbook once you are enrolled. You can call the health plan if you have any questions about your benefits or services or if you need interpreter services or an accommodation because of a disability. The telephone number for your health plan’s member or customer service can be found on your AHCCCS ID card and in your Member Handbook.

« Ifyou have Medicare, your prescription coverage under AHCCCS is limited. If you have questions about prescriptions, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or your AHCCCS health plan.
What is an AHCCCS ID card and what do | do with it?
Your AHCCCS ID card has your unique AHCCCS 1D number.
* Show the card when you get medical care. You may also need to show picture ID. ¢ Doctors, hospitals and pharmacists use your AHCCCS ID card to obtain faster verification of eligibility. * Keep your AHCCCS ID card with you at all times.
¢ Do not let anyone else use your AHCCCS ID card or you may be prosecuted. What does AHCCCS Medical Assistance cost? Premiums: ¢ Most people do not have to pay a monthly premium for AHCCCS Medical Assistance. * Some people with income too high to qualify for AHCCCS Medical Assistance with no monthly premium may be able to get it by paying a monthly premium.
If you have to pay a premium, the premium amounts are $10 to $35 per person for employed people with disabilities.
Aco-payment is the amount you pay a health care provider when you receive a medical service. Your co-payment amount will vary depending on which AHCCCS program you are enrolled in and the services you need. For some AHCCCS programs, the provider can deny services if the co-payments are not made. Co-payments for services are:
* $2.30 to $10.00 for prescriptions
* $0.00 to $30.00 for non-emergency use of an emergency room
* $3.40 to $5.00 for outpatient visits for evaluation and management services including doctors office visits
* $2.30 to $3.00 for physical, occupational or speech therapy
Remember to report any changes in income because this may change your co-payment amount.
The following people are never asked to pay co-payments:
* Children under age 19.
* People determined to be Seriously Mentally Ill (SMI) by the Arizona Department of Health Services.
¢ Individuals through age 20 eligible to receive services from the Children’s Rehabilitative Services (CRS) program.
¢ People who are temporarily residing in nursing homes or residential facilities such as an Assisted Living Home and only when the acute care member's medica! condition would otherwise require hospitalization. The exemption from co-payments is limited to 90 days in a contract year.

© Ask for a fair hearing if you disagree with your application being denied, your benefits ended, or your DES and/or AHCCCS services being reduced, or if a

Attachment 5 Key Differences HEA plus Key Differences Between Arizona’s Health-e-Arizona Plus Online Application and the CMS Document for the Health Insurance Marketplace Online Application
Health-e-Arizona Plus (www.healthearizonaplus.gov) will be Arizona’s integrated online application for Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, and TANF Cash Assistance.
The Health-e-Arizona Plus online application was compared to the CMS document List of Items in the Online Application to Support Eligibility Determinations for Enrollment through the Health Insurance Marketplace and for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, 4/29/2013.
The following questions or data elements are collected on the CMS Health Insurance Marketplace online application, but are not on the Health-e-Arizona Plus online application:
Eligible Immigration Status
Because there is a requirement that a Medicaid applicant attest to their qualified immigration status, we cannot use the method outlined on the CMS single streamlined application. Not all legal statuses are Medicaid qualified immigration statuses. Therefore, we have listed the statuses for selection. We also provide the individual with the option to indicate they do not want to provide their immigration status. In this situation the person can only be eligible for emergency services.
Potential Disability Per the CMS document, disability related questions are asked of all applicants to ‘screen applicants for the potential for
Medicaid eligibility on a basis other than Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)’. Arizona asks potential disability questions only for those persons not otherwise confirmed to be disabled by electronic data sources and who are not already found eligible on the basis of MAGI.
Expedited Income
Per the CMS document, Section IX, describes a process ‘for tax filers whose income tax data indicates that the household income is above a certain amount so the household doesn’t need to answer questions about current/monthly income.’ Arizona will not use FTI and does not ask these questions.
American Indian/Alaska Native income questions
While income, including tribal income is collected, it is collected along with all other types of income, rather than broken out to a separate series of questions.
Discrepancies The CMS document includes 10 questions asked for an person where the electronic income data is not reasonably
compatible with the household income attestation. Arizona asks similar conditional questions when, upon reviewing the income data from electronic sources, indicates that the income data is not, or no longer, accurate. These questions and the rules associated with the answers to these questions are integral to Arizona’s verification plan and specifically Arizona’s rules for reasonable compatibility.
Special Enrollment Periods
We have not included special enrollment period questions for potential APTC eligible persons. The CMS paper Single Streamlined Application does not include these questions. Guidance also indicates that these are not required for alternative paper or online applications.

Attachment 5 Key Differences HEA plus The following questions or data elements are collected on the Health-e-Arizona Plus online application, but are not on the CMS Health Insurance Marketplace online application:
Questions Related to All Medical Assistance Programs
Relationships
We ask for relationships of all persons in relation to other persons, not just in relationship to the primary applicant.
Immigration Status
Because there is a requirement that a Medicaid applicant attest to their qualified immigration status, we cannot use Because there is a requirement that a Medicaid applicant attest to their qualified immigration status, we cannot use the method outlined on the CMS single streamlined application. Not all legal statuses are Medicaid qualified immigration statuses. Therefore, we have listed the statuses for selection. We also provide the individual with the option to indicate they do not want to provide their immigration status. In this situation the person can only be eligible for emergency services.
Pregnancy
We ask for the expected due date in order to follow-up when no newborn has been reported by the expected due date.
Arizona resident
We ask this question to ensure that the individual considers him/herself a resident of Arizona. We also ask whether any applying person has moved to Arizona in the last month (or in the last four months if prior quarter coverage is needed).
Potential Benefits
We ask two questions to identify potential benefits for which the individual may be eligible. This includes through access to pension or veterans administration benefits
No Income
For households attesting to having ‘No Income’, we ask questions related how they are meeting their needs. Based on the answers to the questions, they may have income that is considered countable income (e.g., working odd jobs) that they had not previously entered. As indicated in our verification plan, we will perform post eligibility checks of data sources at 6 months to determine if the household is receiving income.
Questions Related to Medicaid and CHIP only
Inpatient State rule requires that we determine eligibility expedited timeframe for persons who are inpatient in a hospital
inpatient. This question is asked following eligibility determination, but before signature.
Injury or illness due to an accident or medical malpractice

(spa)(az-13-0005-mm)(approval-document)(page-66)Page 66#
Attachment 5 Key Differences HEA plus We ask this question to identify potential sources of third party liability. This question is asked following eligibility determination, but before signature and is a federal requirement to pursue sources of third party liability
Health Plan Choice
We ask the individuals who are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, or are eligible pending verification, to indicate their health plan choice. This is an optional question, but is important to the completion of their enrollment and avoid additional contact to obtain their choice. This question is asked following eligibility determination, but before signature.
Questions Related to CHIP Only (Note: Arizona’s CHIP program enrollment is frozen)
Chronic or Serious IlIness
If the CHIP program should reopen, we would ask if any CHIP eligible child, that has lost insurance in the last 90 days, has a chronic or serious illness. Arizona waives the 90 day bare period for an eligible child with a chronic or serious illness
Questions Related to ABD and Medicaid Buy In (i.e., Freedom to Work (FTW)) Programs
We ask the following questions only as needed for persons identified by data sources to be blind or disabled or otherwise not eligible for Medicaid or CHIP on the basis of MAGI.
Past receipt of Supplemental Security Income (SSI Cash) We ask this question to identify potential eligibility for certain ABD categories. Potential Disability
We ask if the person has a mental or physical disability that has or will keep him/her from working for at least 12 months to identify potential eligibility for the Aged, Blind, Disabled (ABD) program.
We ask if the person works and has a significant impairment to identify potential eligibility for the Freedom to Work program.
Impairment/Blind Related Work Expenses We collect eligible expenses only as applicable and needed to complete the eligibility determination Student Earned Income Exclusion
We collect student status for persons under age 22, disabled or potentially disabled, and having earned income, and otherwise over income for these programs in order to apply the student earned income exclusion.
Court-Ordered Child Support
We collect court-order child support for parents of a disabled or potentially disabled person who is otherwise over income for these programs, in order to apply the child support deduction

Accorm.nodatior.r costs were derived by multiplying the covered clays on tl.re claim/encounter times the accommodation cost per diems fi'om the cost report. e. Costed claims/encounters were then assigned to tiers using the logic specified above. For claims assigned to more than one tier, ancillary costs \¡/ere allocated to the tiers in the sarne proportion as the accolnmodation costs. f. All costs were reduced by an audit adjustment factor equal to four percent since cost rcpods were not audited. 2) Inflation Factor: For rates effective on and after October 1,1999, AHCCCS shall inflate the operating component of the tiered per diem rates to the mid-point of the prospective rate year, using the DRI inflation factor. For rates effective on and after October 1, 2010, no inflation factor will be applied. Length of Stay (LOS) Adjustment: For rates effective October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000, the operating component of the Matelnity and Nursery tiers shall be adjusted to reflect changes in LOS as required by the federal mandate that allows \ /omen at least 48 hours of inpatient care for a normal vaginal delivery, and at least 96 hours of inpatient care for a cesarean section delivery, effective for dates of service on and after January 1, 1998. There shall be no LOS updates for any tiers for rates effective on or after October l, 2000. B. Direct Medical Education Component Direct medical education includes nursing school education, iutern and resident salaries, fringes and prograrn costs and pararnedical education. 1) For the serwice period July 1,2017 througl.r June 30,2018, the Adrninistration shall distribute $36,420,263.54 as described ìn this paragraph to the following hospitals: Abrazo Central Campus, Bamer Unive¡sity Medical Center - Phoenix, Banner University Medical Center - Tucson. Maricopa County Medical Center, Phoenix Children's Hospital, Scottsdale Healthcare - Osborn, Scottsdale Healthcare - Shea, St. Joseph's Hospital - Phoenix, and Tucson Medical Center, Fol dates of service on ancl after October'1, 1997 (FFY98), GME payment dollars will be sepalated from the tiered per diem rates to create an AHCCCS GME, pool. Fol FFY9S and each year thereafter, the value of the GME pool will be based on the total GME payments made for claims and encounters in FFY96, inflated by the DRI inflation factor. On an annual basis GME pool funds will be distributed to each hospital with an approved GME program based on the percentage of the total FFY96 GME pool that each l.rospital's FFY96 GME payment represented.

The per-resident allocation to Program X will be based on the 2 resident positions. Medicaid utilization for each hospital will be deterrnined using t.he most recent as-filed Medicare Cost RepoÍ on file with the Administration ar.rd the Administration's inpatient hospital Fee-For- Service claims and managed care encounter data for the time period corresponding to the MCR for each hospital. The Medicaid utilization percent for each hospital will be calculated as its total Medicaid inpatient days divided by total MCR inpatient days, r'ounded up to the nearest 5%. Total MCR inpatient days will be taken from Fonn 2552, Worksheet S-3, Part 1, Lines 14 and l6 through 18, Column 8. The Medicaid utilization frorn the most recent as-filed Medicare cost reporting period is a proxy for the Medicaid utilization for the selvice period. The statewide average per-resident cost will be deterniined using the most recent as-filed MCR on file with the Administration and resident counts repofied by hospitals and GME programs. The average will be calculated by totaling all hrtern/Resident direct costs for all hospitals reporting such costs on the MCR and dividing by the total number of residents at those hospitals. The direct IiR costs will be taken from Fonl 2552, Worksheet B, Pal't l, Lines 21 & 22, Column 0. A filled resident position is a GME program position for which a resident is enrolled and receiving a salary. The number of filled resident positions in a program will be derived by hospital and prograrn report¡ng to the Adnr in istrat ion. A hospital's level of participation is defined by the hospital's share of resident rotations within the progran. For example, if residents in Program X spend nine months of the year on rotation at hospital A and three months at hospital B, then hospital A's level of participation in Plogram X is 7 5o/o and hospital B's level of particip alion is 25%o. The program rotation schedules will be derived by program and hospital leporting to the Administration. For the service period of J,tly \ , 2017 , to June 30, 201 8, the Administration shall distribute up to $24,482,209.42 under this paragraph to the following hospitals: Banner University Medtcal Center - Phoenix, Bamrer University Medical Center - South, Banner University Medical Center - Tucson, John C.

Attachner.rt 4. l9-A Page 9(f) STATE OF ARIZONA METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PAYMENT RATES INPATIENT HOSPITAL CARE The Medicaid-specific statewide average per-resident-per-month cost will be calculated by totaling the Medicaid IME costs for all hospitals that have such costs, dividing tl.re lesult by the total number of residents at those hospitals, and dividing that result by 12. The Medicaid IME cost for each hospital is to be calculated as follows: 1. Calculate each hospital's Medicare share by dividing the Medicare inpatient discharges on the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet S-3 Part I, Column 13, Line 14 plus Line 2) by the total inpatient hospital discharges on the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet S-3 Parl I, Colurnri 15, Line 14). ' 2. Calculate the ratio of the residents to beds by dividing the number of filled resident positions for each hospital derived from reporting by thc GME programs to the Administration as <lescribed in parag'aph R(2) by the hed days avaìlahle divided by the number ofdays in the cost reporting period from the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet E Part A, Line 4, Column 1). 3. Calculate the indirect medical education adjustrnent factor by using the following formula: 1.35 x {[(1+r) 40s]-1] where r is the ratio ofresidents to beds calculated above. 4. Calculate each hospital's total indirect rnedical education cost by adding the DRG amounts other than outlier paynents from the Medicare cost repol't and the managed care simulated payments from the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet E Part A, Lines 1, 1.01,1.02, 1.03, 1.04 and 3, Column l), rnultiplying the total by the indirect medical education adjustment factor and dividing the result by the Medicare shale. 5. Calculate each hospital's Medicaid indirect medical education cost by multiplying the hospital's total indirect medical education by the Medicaid Utilization Percent used to determine the direct GME coÍrlponent. The amount allocated to each plogram will be distributed to the prograrn's sponsoring hospital or the program's base hospital ifthe sponsoling institution is not â hospital. The total allrount computed for a teaching hospital under this paragraph shall not exceed the greatest arnong the a1.ìrounts described in paragraph F(l) through F(3). A hospital that does not have any IME amount reported on the Medicare cost 1'epoft, other than a cl.rildren's hospital or a new teaching hospital whose latest available Medicare cost repofl used does not include the hospital's Medicare iME amount as a teaching hospital, will be ineligible for IME payn'ìent under this paragraph D. Fol the selvice period of July 1,2017, to June 30,2018, the Administration shall distribute up to 56,921,957.92 under this paragraph to the following I.rospitals: Banner University Meclical Center - South, Bannel University Medical Center - Tr"rcson, Canyon Vista Medical Center, Kingmar.r Regional Medical Center, and Yur.na Regional Medical Center.

F. Indirect Medical Education - Second Payner.rt Pool Beginning luly 1, 2007, the Administlation establishes a second Indirect Meclical Education payment pool. Those funds will be used for the purposes of reimbursing hospitals specified by the local, county, or tribal government for indirect program costs othet tl.ran those reimbursed under paragraph D. Funds available under this subsection shall be distributed in accordance with paragraph D except that (a) reimbursement with such funds includes resident positions 01'rotations other than those in counties with populations of less than five hundred thousand persoÍìs, and (b) the hospitals eligible to rcceive the funds are parlicipating hospitals that incur indirect medical education costs. The total amount cornputed for a teaching hospital under paragrapl.ts D and F combined shall be equal to the greatest among the following amounts: 1. The hospital's Medicaid IME costs calculated under paragraph D; 2.

The mediar.r Medicaid IME costs are calculated as fol.lows: a. For each hospital with IME costs on their cost report, determine a per resident total IME cost by dividing the total IME costs detemrined under paragraph D(4) by the number of filled residet.rt positions as described in paragraph B(2); b.

Accommodation costs were derived by multiplying the covered days on the claim/encounter times the accommodation cost per diems from the cost repoft. e. Costed claims/encounters were then assigned to tiers using the logic specified above. For claims assigned to more than one tier, ancillary costs were allocated to the tiers in the same proportion as the accommodation costs. f. All costs were reduced by an audit adjustment factor equal to four percent since cost repofis were not audited. 2) Inflation F actor: For rates effective on and after October I, 1999, AHCCCS shall inflate the operating component of the tiered per diem rates to the mid-point of the prospective rate year, using the DRI inflation factor. For rates effective on and after October 1, 2010, no inflation factor will be applied. Length of Stay (LOS) Adjustment: For rates effective October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000, the operating component of the Maternity and Nursery tiers shall be adjusted to reflect changes in LOS as required by the federal mandate that allows women at least 48 hours of inpatient ca¡e for a normal vaginal delivery, and at least 96 hours of inpatient care for a cesarean section delivery, effective for dates of service on and after January l, 1998. There shall be no LOS updates for any tiers for rates effective on or after October 1, 2000. B. Direct Medical Education Component Direct medical education includes nursing school education, intern and resident salaries, fringes and program costs and paramedical education. 1) For the service period July 1,2018 through June 30,2019, the Administration shall distribute 542,280,319 as described in this paragraph to the following hospitals: Abrazo Central Campus, Banner Boswell Medical Center, Banner University Medical Center - Phoenix, Banner University Medical Center - Tucson, Maricopa County Medical Center, Phoenix Children's Hospital, Scottsdale Healthcare - Osborn, Scottsdale Healthcare - Shea, St. Joseph's Hospital - Phoenix, and Tucson Medical Center. For dates of service on and after October 1, 1997 (FFY98), GME payment dollars will be separated from the tiered per diem rates to create an AHCCCS GME pool. For FFY98 and each year thereafter, the value of the GME pool will be based on the total GME payments made for claims and encounters in FFY96, inflated by the DRI inflation factor. On an annual basis GME pool funds will be distributed to each hospital with an approved GME program based on the percentage of the total FFY96 GME pool that each hospital's FFY96 GME pa¡'rnent represented.

Attachment 4.19-A Page 9(c) STATE OF ARIZONA METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PA\MENT RATES INPATIENT HOSPITAL CARE resident positions that are eligible for expansion funding. The per-resident allocation to Program X will be based on the 2 resident positions. Medicaid utilization for each hospital will be determined using the most recent as-filed Medicare Cost Report on file with the Administration and the Administration's inpatient hospital Fee-For- Service claims and managed care encounter data for the time period conesponding to the MCR for each hospital. The Medicaid utilization percent for each hospital will be calculated as its total Medicaid inpatient days divided by total MCR inpatient days, rounded up to the nearest 5ol0. Total MCR inpatient days will be taken from Form 2552, Worksheet S-3, Paft 1, Lines 14 and 16 through 18, Column 8. The Medicaid utilization from the most recent as-filed Medicare cost reporting period is a proxy for the Medicaid utilization for the service period. The statewide average per-resident cost will be determined using the most recent as-filed MCR on file with the Administration and resident counts reported by hospitals and GME programs. The average will be calculated by totaling all Intern/Resident direct costs for all hospitals reporting such costs on the MCR and dividing by the total number of residents at those hospitals. The direct I/R costs will be taken from Form2552, Worksheet B, Palt 1, Lines 21 &,22, Column 0. A filled resident position is a GME program position for which a resident is enrolled and receiving a salary. The number of filled resident positions in a program will be derived by hospital and program reporting to the Administration. A hospital's level of participation is defined by the hospital's share of resident rotations within the program. For example, ifresidents in Program X spend nine months ofthe year on rotation at hospital A and three months at hospital B, then hospital A's level of participation in Program X is 7 5%o and hospital B's level of participation is 25%. The program rotation schedules will be derived by program and hospital reporting to the Administration. For tlre service period of July 1,2018, to June 30, 2019, the Administration shall distribute up to $28,733,040 under this paragraph to the following hospitals: Banner Boswell Medical Center, Banner University Medical Center - Phoenix, Banner University Medical Center - South, Banner University Medical Center - Tucson, John C. Lincoln Medical Center, Kingman Regional Medical Center, Maricopa County Medical Center, Phoenix Children's Hospital, Scottsdale Healthcare - Osbom, Scottsdale Healthcare - Shea, Scottsdale Healthca¡e - Thompson Peak, St. Joseph's Hospital - Phoenix, and Tucson Medical Center. If funds are insufficient to cover all calculated dishibutions within any priority group described in paragraphs B(3)(a) and (b), the Administration shall adjust the distributions propofionally within that priority group. 4) Beginning Júy l, 2007 the AHCCCS Administration shall distribute monies appropriated for graduate medical edr¡cation above the amounts prescribed in paragraphs B(1) and B(3) for the direct costs of graduate medical education programs established or expanded on or after July 1,2006. These programs must be approved by the Administration. TNNo. 18-010 Supersedes TNNo. 17-006 lpproval, øate: o\[/*l7Ù]o Effective Date: Septembe t 30, 2018

Attachment 4.i9-A Page 9(d) STATE OF ARIZONA METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PAYMENT RATES INPATIENT HOSPITAL CARE The Administration will allocate funds to eligible GME programs based on the number of filled resident positions in each program, weighted by Medicaid utilization, and a statewide average per-resident cost according to the methodology described in paragraph B(3). For the service period ofJuly 1,20i8, to June 30,2019, the Administration shall distribute up to $ 17,231,415 under this paragraph to the following hospitals: Abrazo Anowhead Campus, Banner Boswell Medical Center, Banner Del Webb Medical Center, Banner University Medical Center - Phoenix, Ba¡ner University Medical Center - South, Banner University Medical Center - Tucson, Canyon Vista Medical Center, John C.

In addition to the above amount, this pool also includes the payment amounts listed on page 9(g)(i) for other teaching hospitals. If funds are insufficient to cover all calculated distributions, the Administration shall adjust the distributions proportionally. C. New Hospitals Pa¡'rnents made to new hospitals with GME programs will be calculated using a statewide average where necessary until hospital-specific data can be obtained. D. Indirect Medical Education Component Beginning July 1, 2007, the AHCCCS Administration shall distribute monies appropriated for graduate medical education above the amounts prescribed in paragraphs B(1), B(3), and B(4) for a portion of additional indirect medical education costs at hospitals with GME programs with residency positions TNNo. l8-010 Supersedes TNNo. 17-006 Approval Oate: 0ll ll l>o*t: Effective Date: September 30, 20 I I -.1r-_

Attachment 4.19-A Page 9(f) STATE OF ARIZONA METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PAYMENT RATES INPATIENT HOSPITAL CARE The Medicaid-specific statewide average per-resident-per-month cost will be calculated by totaling the Medicaid IME costs for all hospitals that have such costs, dividing the result by the total number of residents at those hospitals, and dividing that result by 12. The Medicaid IME cost for each hospital is to be calculated as follo'¡r's: 1. Calculate each hospital's Medicare share by dividing the Medicare inpatient discharges on the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet S-3 Part I, Column 13, Line 14 plus Line 2) by the total inpatient hospital discharges on the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet S-3 Pafi I, Column 15, Line 14). 2. Calculate the ratio of the residents to beds by dividing the number of filled resident positions for each hospital derived from reporting by the GME programs to the Administration as described in paragraph B(2) by the bed days available divided by the number ofdays in the cost reporting period from the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet E Part A, Line 4, Column 1). 3. Calculatetheindirectmedicaleducationadjustmentfactorbyusingthefollowingformula:1.35 x {[(1+r) 40s]-1] where r is the ratio ofresidents to beds calculated above. 4. Calculate each hospital's total indirect medical education cost by adding the DRG amounts other than outlier payments from the Medica¡e cost report and the managed care simulated payments from the Medicare Cost Report (Worksheet E Part A, Lines 1, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.04 and 3, Column 1), multiplying the total by the indirect medical education adjustment factor and dividing the result by the Medicare share. 5. Calcuiate each hospital's Medicaid indirecl medical education cost by multiplying the hospital's total indirect medical education by the Medicaid Utilization Percent used to determine the direct GME component. The amount allocated to each program will be distributed to the program's sponsoring hospital or the program's base hospital if the sponsoring institution is not a hospital. The total amount computed for a teaching hospital under this paragraph shall not exceed the greatest among the amounts described in paragraph F(1) through F(3). A hospital that does not have any IME amount reported on the Medicare cost repoft, other than a children's hospital or a new teaching hospital whose latest available Medicare cost report used does not include the hospital's Medicare IME amount as a teaching hospital, will be ineligible for IME payment under this paragraph D. For the service period of July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, the Administration shall distribute up to 58,248,547 under this paragraph to the following hospitals: Banner University Medical Center - South, Barmer University Medical Center - Tucson, Canyon Vista Medical Center, Kingman Regional Medical Center, and Yuma Regional Medical Center.

This SPA updates the list of eligibility groups for which wages paid by the Census Bureau for temporary employment related to Census activities are exempt, effective July 1, 2019. Please be advised that SPA 19-006 was deemed approved on December 29, 2019, pursuant to regulations at 42 CFR § 430.16, with an effective date of July 1, 2019. We are enclosing the CMS-179 and the amended Supplement 8a to Attachment 2.6-A, Page 1a State Plan page. This SPA was originally submitted to the CMS San Francisco SPA mailbox (SPA_Waivers_SanFrancisco_R09@cms.hhs.gov) on September 30, 2019. As part of the initial screening of SPA 19-006, AHCCCS was advised to submit the SPA in the MACPro system, as this type of eligibility SPA should be submitted in that system. AHCCCS submitted the SPA into MACPro on December 17, 2019. The original September 30, 2019 submission, however, was neither processed to approval by the CMS San Francisco office before the 90th day nor officially withdrawn. Consequently, the September 30, 2019 submission was deemed approved. CMS intends to continue working with AHCCCS on the December 17, 2019 MACPro submission to incorporate the changes approved in SPA 19-006 into the MACPro system.

Except for ALTCS eligibility, including individuals approved for ALTCS acute care services under 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act, the following income method applies to aged, blind or disabled individuals covered under 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act. The State shall disregard the amount equal to the difference between 100% of the Federal poverty guidelines (as revised annually in the Federal Register) for an individual or a couple and the corresponding Federal Benefit Rate. (The disregard shall be applied by using 100% of the FPL for an individual or a couple as the income standard.) When applying this disregard, if the individual or the individual's spouse has earned income, the $20 and $65 disregards shall apply according to SSI methodology, but not one-half of the remainder.

TN No. 19-008 Supersedes Approval Date: _______________ Effective Date: Oct. 1, 2019 TN No. 18-015 Attachment 4.19-A Page 65 STATE OF ARIZONA METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING PAYMENT RATES INPATIENT HOSPITAL CARE DSH Exhibit 3: AHCCCS Disproportionate Share Hospital Payment Methodology Pool Funding Amount This Exhibit contains the amount of funding for six pools in the Arizona DSH pool methodology. For State Plan Year (SPY) 2008 and 2009, funding will be allocated among six pools (pools 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3, and 4). For SPY 2010, funding will be allocated among seven pools (pools 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3, 4, and 5). Thereafter, the funding will be allocated among six pools (pools 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 4, and 5). Pools 1, 1A, 2, 2A, and 3 - Non-governmentally-operated hospitals The funding for pools 1 and 2 will be sufficient to provide an average payment amount of $6,000 for all hospitals qualifying for both of the two pools. No hospital in pools 1 or 2 will receive less than $5,000. Therefore, the amount of funding for pools 1 and 2 will be determined by multiplying the number of hospitals qualifying for pools 1 and 2 by $6,000. The funding for pools 1A, 2A and 3 (if applicable) will be derived by subtracting the total amount allocated for pools 1 and 2 from the amount of DSH authorized by the Legislature for non- governmentally operated hospitals. Beginning SPY 2011, these remaining funds will be split with 15% for Pool 1A and 85% for Pool 2A. For SPY 2018, the funding for pools 1, 2, 1A, and 2A will be $884,800. For SPY 2019, the funding for pools 1, 2, 1A, and 2A will be $884,800. For SPY 2020, the funding for pools 1, 2, 1A, and 2A will be $884,800. Pool 4 – Governmentally-operated hospitals The funding for pool 4 is the amount authorized by the Legislature for governmentally operated hospitals. For SPY 2018, the funding for pool 4 is $142,293,400. For SPY 2019, the funding for pool 4 is $142,293,400. For SPY 2020, the funding for pool 4 is $142,293,400. 05/13/20

Question ID Reference CMS question to the State Policy/Regulation State Response 1 Individuals Deemed to Be Receiving SSI Arizona had previously expressed an interest in applying the proposed census wages disregard to “Individuals Deemed to Be Receiving SSI.” Because the ţnancial methodologies for deemed SSI recipients are necessarily aligned with SSI methodologies, states cannot apply less restrictive methods.

The state does not need to change its selections for the groups aſected by this SPA (Individuals Eligible For but Not Receiving Cash Assistance, Ticket to Work Basic, and Ticket to Work Medical Improvements) because the correct boxes have already been checked for those groups. 42 CFR 435.10(b) Please see RU 6 Individuals Eligible for But Not Receiving Cash Assistance Please check YES for the statement located at subpart C.4. within the “Financial Methodologies” portion of this RU.

Name of methodology: Description: Eligible for but not receiving cash assistance Except for ALTCS eligibility, including individuals approved for ALTCS acute care services under 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act, the following income method applies to aged, blind or disabled individuals covered under 1902(a) (10)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act. • The State shall disregard the amount equal to the diſerence between 100% of the Federal poverty guidelines (as revised annually in the Federal Register) for an individual or a couple and the corresponding Federal Beneţt Rate. (The disregard shall be applied by using 100% of the FPL for an individual or a couple as the income standard.) When applying this disregard, if the individual or the individual's spouse has earned income, the $20 and $65 disregards shall apply according to SSI methodology, but not one- half of the remainder. If ineligible because the one-half of the remainder disregard is not allowed, eligibility shall also be determined using the FBR as the income standard for the individual or couple, allowing the $20, $65, and one-half of the remainder disregard according to SSI methodology. • In determining the income of an individual who is receiving Title II (Social Security) income, the State shall disregard the amount attributable to the cost of living increase in the level of monthly income payable pursuant to section 215(i) of the Act, from January until the State implements the Federal Poverty Guideline for the current year. 4.

This amendment proposes to implement temporary policies, which are different from those policies and procedures otherwise applied under your Medicaid state plan, during the period of the Presidential and Secretarial emergency declarations related to the COVID-19 outbreak (or any renewals thereof). On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States issued a proclamation that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency by the authorities vested in him by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and consistent with section 1135 of the Social Security Act (Act). On March 13, 2020, pursuant to section 1135(b) of the Act, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services invoked his authority to waive or modify certain requirements of titles XVIII, XIX, and XXI of the Act as a result of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the extent necessary, as determined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to ensure that sufficient health care items and services are available to meet the needs of individuals enrolled in the respective programs and to ensure that health care providers that furnish such items and services in good faith, but are unable to comply with one or more of such requirements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, may be reimbursed for such items and services and exempted from sanctions for such noncompliance, absent any determination of fraud or abuse. This authority took effect as of 6PM Eastern Standard Time on March 15, 2020, with a retroactive effective date of March 1, 2020. The emergency period will terminate, and this state plan provision will no longer be in effect, upon termination of the public health emergency, including any extensions. As part of this SPA, Arizona’s request under section 1135 of the Act has been approved for the following:

This amendment proposes to implement temporary policies, which are different from those policies and procedures otherwise applied under your Medicaid state plan, during the period of the Presidential and Secretarial emergency declarations related to the COVID- 19 outbreak (or any renewals thereof). On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States issued a proclamation that the COVID- 19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency by the authorities vested in him by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and consistent with section 1135 of the Social Security Act (Act). On March 13, 2020, pursuant to section 1135(b) of the Act, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services invoked his authority to waive or modify certain requirements of titles XVIII, XIX, and XXI of the Act as a result of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the extent necessary, as determined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to ensure that sufficient health care items and services are available to meet the needs of individuals enrolled in the respective programs and to ensure that health care providers that furnish such items and services in good faith, but are unable to comply with one or more of such requirements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, may be reimbursed for such items and services and exempted from sanctions for such noncompliance, absent any determination of fraud or abuse. This authority took effect as of 6PM Eastern Standard Time on March 15, 2020, with a retroactive effective date of March 1, 2020. The emergency period will terminate, and this state plan provision will no longer be in effect, upon termination of the public health emergency, including any extensions. Pursuant to section 1135(b)(5) of the Act, for the period of the public health emergency, CMS is modifying the requirement at 42 C.F.R. 430.20 that the state submit SPAs related to the COVID- 19 public health emergency by the final day of the quarter, to obtain a SPA effective date during the quarter, enabling SPAs submitted after the last day of the quarter to have an effective date in a previous quarter, but no earlier than the effective date of the public health emergency.

The State of Arizona requested a waiver of public notice requirements applicable to the SPA submission process. Pursuant to section 1135(b)(1)(C) of the Act, CMS is also waiving public notice requirements applicable to the SPA submission process. Public notice for SPAs is required under 42 C.F.R. §447.205 for changes in statewide methods and standards for setting Medicaid payment rates, 42 C.F.R. §447.57 for changes to premiums and cost sharing, and 42 C.F.R. §440.386 for changes to Alternative Benefit Plans (ABPs). 3XUVXDQW WR VHFWLRQ E

Pursuant to section 1135(b)(5) of the Act, CMS is also allowing states to modify the timeframes associated with tribal consultation required under section 1902(a)(73) of the Act, including shortening the number of days before submission or conducting consultation after submission of the SPA. These waivers or modifications of the requirements related to SPA submission timelines, public notice, and tribal consultation apply only with respect to SPAs that meet the following criteria: (1) the SPA provides or increases beneficiary access to items and services related to COVID-19 (such as by waiving or eliminating cost sharing, increasing payment rates or amending ABPs to add services or providers); (2) the SPA does not restrict or limit payment or services or otherwise burden beneficiaries and providers; and (3) the SPA is temporary, with a specified sunset date that is not later than the last day of the declared COVID-19 public health emergency (or any extension thereof). We nonetheless encourage states to make all relevant information about the SPA available to the public so they are aware of the changes. We conducted our review of your submittal according to the statutory requirements at section 1902(a) of the Act and implementing regulations. This letter is to inform you that Arizona’s Medicaid SPA Transmittal Number 20-005 is approved effective March 1, 2020.

Rescissions to the State’s Disaster Relief Policies for the COVID-19 National Emergency to your state plan, as submitted under transmittal number (TN) 20-0009. This amendment proposes to rescind the temporary election, in section 7.4. Medicaid Disaster Relief for the COVID-19 National Emergency, of the COVID-19 testing group described at 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XXIII) of the Social Security Act (the Act). We conducted our review of your submittal according to the statutory requirements at section 1902(a) of the Act and implementing regulations. Section 7.4 of the Medicaid state plan provides temporary authority and is intended to be in effect only for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Due to the temporary nature of this provision, and because the state has not yet implemented the COVID-19 testing group and no individuals have been enrolled for coverage, TN 20-0009 is approved effective April 1, 2020 pursuant to 42 CFR 430.20(b)(3). Please note that if Arizona wishes to cover the COVID-19 testing group after it is removed from the state plan, you may submit a new Medicaid Disaster Relief for the COVID-19 National Emergency SPA at any time during the public health emergency. Enclosed is a copy of the CMS-179 summary form and the approved state plan page. Please contact Brian Zolynas at (415) 744-3601 or by email at brian.zolynas@cms.hhs.gov if you have any questions about this approval.
