Medical Billing Services in Arizona
Medical billing for Arizona practices — AHCCCS and its managed care plans, Noridian Medicare and a fast-growing Medicare Advantage market around Phoenix and Tucson.
Arizona Billing Starts With AHCCCS
Arizona’s Medicaid program, AHCCCS (the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System), has been built on managed care since it began. Almost all members are enrolled in AHCCCS health plans, so practices must register with AHCCCS and also credential and contract with each plan their patients use.
Medicare Part B claims go to Noridian Healthcare Solutions, and Arizona has a large and growing Medicare Advantage population, especially in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Commercial plans include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna.
