The public comment period is now open for the AHCCCS Community Health Worker Reimbursement Policy. You can send your comments at this link.
To help prepare your comments, please review the Talking Points for the AHCCCS Public Comment Period on CHW Reimbursement. The document is attached, and the Google Doc is available here.
AHCCCS deserves credit for recognizing that more needs to be done administratively to support and expand the role of Community Health Workers in Arizona’s health care system. This public comment period is an important opportunity to help shape how that work moves forward.
Please consider sending a comment personally, giving one on behalf of your organization, and encouraging leaders from your community or organization to send comments as well.
AHCCCS also values hearing directly from members, so please share this opportunity with clients and community members who may want to provide input.
The public comment period closes August 4.
