Summary
CMS approved Arizona AHCCCS's ARPA Home and Community-Based Services Spending Plan, qualifying Arizona for a temporary 10 percentage point increase in the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for certain Medicaid HCBS and behavioral health expenditures through March 31, 2022. The enhanced FMAP is authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Implementation activities described in the spending plan run through March 31, 2024, but programmatic changes require prior expenditure authority from the Arizona State Legislature.
What this may mean
The enhanced 10-point FMAP applies to qualifying HCBS and behavioral health services through March 31, 2022, providing additional federal funding to AHCCCS for those expenditure categories during that period. Spending plan implementation activities extend through March 2024 and are subject to Arizona legislative appropriation before programmatic changes can take effect. Providers of HCBS and behavioral health services in Arizona are affected by any resulting program expansions or modifications authorized under the plan.
