This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section to the Arizona Revised Statutes that requires the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to conduct monthly reviews to ensure that individuals enrolled in health insurance plans sold on the Federally Facilitated Exchange (FFE) are not also enrolled in AHCCCS. This review is contingent upon the availability of data from the Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS) and approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Additionally, the bill mandates that AHCCCS notify individuals found to be enrolled in both programs about the potential risks and consequences of dual enrollment.

The bill also includes a definition of the "Affordable Care Act" (ACA) that aligns with existing statutes. The proposed changes aim to enhance oversight and prevent improper dual enrollment in health programs, thereby maintaining the integrity of the AHCCCS program. Overall, the bill seeks to update current law by introducing new requirements for monitoring and communication regarding health insurance enrollment.
