Arizona Behavioral Health Providers Association
Purpose of AzBHPA
Arizona Behavioral Health Providers Association (AzBHPA) was formed to work closely with Arizona Legislature, Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs), Tribal Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (TRBHAs), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) and other government agencies. Our goal is to advocate for Members of AzBHPA to ensure fair and equitable regulation of Behavioral Health services in our State.
Agenda
The initial goal of AzBHPA is to understand the major issues Providers are facing with AHCCCS and to identify areas to focus for discussion and action. AzBHPA has retained David Miles, a Law Firm with experience in Behavioral Health & AHCCCS to represent AzBHPA and possibly make a presentation to AHCCCS about major issues and recommendations. The objective of this undertaking is to help streamline services for Providers and eliminate fraud.
Disclaimer:
This Agenda is not an attempt to secure approval of Prior Authorizations or Claims for any specific Facility, Provider or Member, nor is any attorney-client relationship created.
