AZ HB2149

Requires health care providers to verify a patient's current enrollment and eligibility in Arizona's health care cost containment system (AHCCCS) before providing nonemergency medical care, effective October 1, 2015.

Mandates providers submit documentation of verification with each claim for reimbursement, with the administration refusing to process claims lacking proper documentation.

Directs the administration to implement a verification system through a request for proposals process to prevent fraud at the point of service.

Requires the verification system to be operational by October 1, 2015, enabling physicians and health care providers to accurately confirm patient eligibility and current enrollment status before delivering care.
