Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH) Safety Net Care Pool (SNCP) Technical Amendment Correction
The current waiver extends authority for uncompensated care payments under the Safety Net Care Pool (SNCP) to Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH) through December 31, 2017. AHCCCS proposes technical amendments to the language of the Special Terms and Conditions (STC 32 and Attachment E) to clarify that this authority permits AHCCCS to make actual payments after the end of the expenditure authority for the costs of care incurred by PCH on or before December 31, 2017. The proposed technical clarifications do not impact the total cap on SNCP funds that are available to PCH or otherwise substantively amend the SNCP program.
The public will have the opportunity to review and comment on the proposal in person at public forums throughout the State and in writing via e-mail to publicinput@azahcccs.gov or mail to:
AHCCCSc/o Office of Intergovernmental Relations
801 E. Jefferson Street, MD 4200
Phoenix, AZ 85034
All comments received by July 15, 2017, will be reviewed, considered and included in the final proposal sent to CMS.
