Arizona Medicaid
Medicaid is run by the state. Here is where Arizona residents apply, and how it fits with other coverage.
Medicaid is a government program that gives free or low-cost health coverage to people with limited income, such as some adults, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with disabilities. Each state runs its own Medicaid program and decides who qualifies. We are an independent insurance agency, and we cannot enroll you in Medicaid or check your Medicaid.

If your income is too high for Medicaid, or you want to compare health plans, call us. We can help with that.
Who runs Medicaid in Arizona
Medicaid in Arizona is administered through AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System). Eligibility and applications are handled by the state, not by an insurance agency, and there is no charge to apply.
Arizona has expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (effective January 2014), so many adults with lower incomes can qualify.
If your Medicaid changes or ends
Losing Medicaid can open a special enrollment period to buy marketplace coverage. Act quickly, because the window to enroll after losing coverage is limited. You can call us to talk through the options, or contact the marketplace directly.
Medicaid and Medicare
Some people have both. If you are 65 or older, or disabled, and qualify for Medicaid, your state may help pay Medicare costs. Arizona State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) can explain this for free.
