Policy

Non-financial conditions of eligibility must be verified for most AHCCCS Medical Assistance (MA) programs.

The agency uses information from electronic sources and other information in previous records before asking for proof from the customer.

Before asking the customer to provide proof, check the case file and case notes to see if it was already provided. When it appears proof was provided to another agency and you do not have access to it, submit a policy clarification request (PCR) requesting help getting the proof.
