AHCCCS

The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) stands as the Medicaid agency in Arizona, dedicated to providing comprehensive healthcare programs. These programs encompass medical, behavioral health, and long-term care services, primarily serving the state's low-income residents, including those with developmental disabilities. Mandated by Arizona's revised statute, the Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities (DES/DDD) is entrusted with delivering services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

The Women’s Health Coalition plays a vital role in facilitating access to AHCCCS (Medicaid) and SNAP (Food Stamps) benefits for families in need. Offering support at every stage of the application process, the coalition aids families in determining eligibility, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. Moreover, when it comes time to renew AHCCCS coverage, the Women’s Health Coalition continues to assist families, guiding them through the renewal process. Eligibility for services is contingent upon meeting specific income and other requirements.

For those families who may not qualify for AHCCCS, the Women’s Health Coalition extends its commitment by connecting them to alternative no-cost or low-cost medical and dental care options within the community. To access these crucial services and embark on the path to improved healthcare, individuals and families are encouraged to make an appointment by calling (602) 254.6162. The Women’s Health Coalition stands ready to empower families in navigating the complexities of healthcare assistance, ensuring that everyone has access to the care they need.
