What if I have AHCCCS, do I need to renew each year?

If you’re enrolled through AHCCCS (for adults, children, pregnant women, KidsCare, etc.), your eligibility is reviewed once a year. About 60 days before your renewal is due, AHCCCS will send a notice. Some renewals happen automatically using state and federal data — if everything matches, you may not need to do anything.

If AHCCCS doesn’t have enough data — or your information changed — you’ll need to fill out a short form to confirm eligibility.

What is AHCCCS and why should I apply?

  • Save money on health care
  • See a doctor when you’re sick or need a check-up
  • Get medicine you need
