Arizona Medicaid--The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) included requirements related to medical homes in their last RFP for acute care services. They required all proposers to describe their system and plan to award a contract (and additional funding) to one MCO to assist in the development of a Medical Home for the Medicaid population. They are also working under a "Round two" CMS Medicaid Transformation grant to develop a Value Driven Decision Support Tool Box (The Tool Box) will be available to all 1 million plus Arizona Medicaid and SCHIP beneficiaries and the health plans and providers who serve them. This toolbox is intended, among other objectives, to better support medical home functions for both providers and beneficiaries.
