The
AHCCCS Medical Policy Manual (AMPM) was recently updated to reflect
changes to the policy manual to update the Direct Service Claiming
(DSC) Program. The updates specifically change the wording for health
aide training and training certificates. You can download the updated
pages for your manual by following this link.

annually. Pre-registration

consists of three forms: (1) The Provider Registration Form, (2) The
Provider Participation Agreement, and (3) The W-9 Form.
Please
remember this key information when registering Health Aides:
Only the
original AHCCCS forms and photocopies of the originals are accepted.
Re-typed or scanned forms will NOT be accepted.

The
registration process for Health Aides must mirror the process for any
other AHCCCS provider. Please
follow the above requirements when registering Health Aides. If these requirements are not met, AHCCCS will not be able to
process the registration packet and it will be returned to the LEA
for corrections.
We
appreciate your efforts in this matter, and if we can be of
