This bill proposes to amend section 36-2901.06 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding capitation rate adjustments. Under current law, capitation rate adjustments shall be shall be replaced with are, indicating a shift in the phrasing to a more definitive statement. Additionally, the bill clarifies that these adjustments are limited to utilization of existing services and inflation unless policy changes, including creation or expansion of programs, have been approved by the legislature or are specifically required by federal law or court mandate. This maintains the existing framework while ensuring that any changes to capitation rates remain contingent upon legislative approval or federal requirements.
