The proposed bill, if enacted, 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) must provide applied behavior analysis services in flexible locations tailored to the needs of each child, ensuring that no single delivery location is favored over others.

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 provision does not prevent AHCCCS from offering mileage reimbursement for travel to rural or wilderness areas. Overall, these changes aim to enhance accessibility and equity in the provision of applied behavior analysis services for families and children.
