Arizona AHCCCS credentialing requirements by state
Arizona AHCCCS enrollment is not identical everywhere. The table below lists what actually differs across the 1 state Arizona AHCCCS operates in — network status, local plan names, portals and the state-specific conditions our credentialing team has recorded.
| State | Network | Timeline | State-specific notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arizona | Open | 30–60 days | Arizona Medicaid (AHCCCS - Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System) enrollment steps: (1) Obtain NPI via NPPES. (2) Register on the AHCCCS provider enrollment portal. (3) Contract with one or more AHCCCS-contracted health plans, as Arizona operates 100% managed care with no fee-for-service option. (4) Obtain a Level I fingerprint clearance card from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, required for all providers. Behavioral health providers must qualify as a Licensed Behavioral Health Professional (LBHP), which includes LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and Licensed Psychologist with active AZ licensure. Revalidation is required every 5 years. Providers must enroll with AHCCCS and separately credential with each contracted health plan. |
