AHCCCS and Community Partners Launch KeepMyAHCCCS.com

New website serves as central hub for information, resources, and updates for members who may be affected by H.R.1 requirements beginning January 2027

PHOENIX, Ariz. — The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), together with community partners from across the state, announces the launch of KeepMyAHCCCS.com, a new online resource designed to help members, stakeholders, advocates, providers, and community partners understand federal Medicaid work requirements established under H.R.1, Section 71119, which take effect January 1, 2027.

The new requirements could affect nearly 417,000 AHCCCS members statewide, making access to clear, accurate, and timely information critical for individuals and families across Arizona. KeepMyAHCCCS.com will serve as AHCCCS’s primary public source for information, updates, and educational resources related to implementation of the federal requirements. Members can visit the site today to help determine whether the requirements might apply to them, learn about exemptions, and confirm that their contact information on file with AHCCCS is current so they receive notices when the requirements begin.

“As we prepare for the implementation of these new federal requirements, our priority is ensuring that members and community partners have access to clear, reliable, and easy-to-understand information. Because nearly 417,000 Arizonans may be affected, we are committed to providing a trusted resource that helps members understand what these changes mean, determine whether they may qualify for an exemption, and learn what steps they may need to take to maintain their healthcare coverage.”

KeepMyAHCCCS.com was developed in partnership with advocacy organizations, health care providers and health plans, philanthropic organizations, community-based organizations, community assistors and navigators, and AHCCCS members. Partners helped shape the website’s content, plain-language explanations, and outreach materials so they reflect how members actually seek information and the questions they are already asking. The site reflects a shared commitment among AHCCCS and its partners to keeping eligible Arizonans covered.

“Arizona’s health plans are committed to helping AHCCCS members understand and navigate the new eligibility requirements taking effect over the upcoming year. We applaud AHCCCS for creating KeepMyAHCCCS.com, a valuable resource that gives members clear, accessible information on the steps they need to take to maintain their coverage. We encourage every AHCCCS member to check the site regularly and take action when needed to protect the care and coverage they rely on.”

The website offers a comprehensive collection of resources designed to help members navigate the changes, including:

• An interactive screener to help individuals understand whether the requirements may apply to them
• Details about exemptions and other circumstances that may affect eligibility, including exemptions for parents and caregivers of dependent children, people with disabilities or medical conditions, students, and other categories
• Information about reporting requirements
• Frequently asked questions and educational materials
• Downloadable outreach and communication resources
• Information and tools for providers, community organizations, advocates, and other stakeholders
• Resources to help members meet work requirements, including connections to ARIZONA@WORK, job training, education, and volunteer opportunities, as confirmed
• Regular updates as additional federal guidance and implementation information becomes available

“We are proud to partner with AHCCCS on KeepMyAHCCCS.com, a resource that puts clear, reliable information directly into the hands of Arizona Medicaid members. By bringing together the expertise of community organizations, health care providers, and people with lived experience, this new site helps members understand what steps they need to take and where to turn for help. We encourage anyone with questions about their coverage to start with KeepMyAHCCCS.com and use the tools and resources available there.”

KeepMyAHCCCS.com was designed to be mobile-friendly and accessible, recognizing that many AHCCCS members primarily access information through smartphones and other mobile devices. The website also includes bilingual support to better serve Arizona’s diverse communities.

The launch of the website marks a significant milestone in AHCCCS’s statewide education and outreach efforts related to H.R.1 implementation. AHCCCS will continue to work with the partners who helped build the campaign, along with health plans, providers, community organizations, advocacy groups, and other partners statewide to ensure information reaches members where they are.

KeepMyAHCCCS.com is an official AHCCCS resource developed and maintained by the agency in collaboration with community partners to support member education, outreach, and awareness efforts related to H.R.1 implementation.

Members, stakeholders, and community partners are encouraged to visit the website regularly for the latest information, resources, and updates.
