Caucus & COW
Overview
Extends the Acute Care Services at Home Pilot Program (ACHPP) until January 1, 2029.
History
Laws 2021, Chapter 320 established the ACHPP as a three-year pilot program which allows
for the delivery of acute care services to patients in their home by licensed Arizona hospitals.
The pilot program is administered by the Arizona Department of Health Service (DHS) who
establishes the pilot program's rules and collaborates with interested hospitals. ACHPP
terminates January 1, 2027.
DHS must determine, in collaboration with interested hospitals: 1) the criteria necessary for
a licensed hospital to be eligible for the pilot program, which includes demonstrating the
required in-person and telehealth equipment necessary to provide acute in-home services; 2)
the protocols for eligible hospitals to determine patient eligibility in ACHPP; and 3) the
protocols for health care services to be provided by or under the direction of eligible hospitals
to patients in ACHPP.
Provisions
1. Delays the repeal date for ACHPP until January 1, 2029. (Sec. 1)
