If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 36 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically section 36-2930.07. This new section mandates that the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) ensure that applied behavior analysis services for families and children are provided in flexible locations tailored to the needs of each child, prohibiting favoritism towards any specific delivery location.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the AHCCCS fee schedule for applied behavior analysis services cannot vary payment rates based on the service delivery setting. However, it clarifies that this does not prevent the administration from offering mileage reimbursement for travel to rural or wilderness areas. Overall, these updates aim to enhance accessibility and equity in the provision of applied behavior analysis services under AHCCCS.
