New AHCCCS rules will start in 2027. But if you are American Indian or Alaska Native, under federal law, these requirements do not apply to you, and your coverage will stay the same. Talk to someone you trust. Your tribal health program or Community Health Representative can answer your questions. You can also call AHCCCS at (855) 220-0903.
On July 4, 2025, a new federal law called H.R. 1 (also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and the “Working Families Tax Cut Legislation”) was passed by Congress. Over the coming years, this law creates multiple changes to how AHCCCS determines eligibility, how AHCCCS members maintain coverage, and how health care is paid for throughout Arizona. This webpage is for managed care organizations, community-based organizations, providers, and other community partners to get information and resources to help individuals with the upcoming work requirements and 6-month renewals.

The National Congress of American Indians passed a resolution that supports the right of each Tribal Nation to determine its own approach to maternal mortality review, to reduce and prevent maternal mortality among American Indian and Alaska Native women.
