UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Arizona was selected by the state to offer its whole-person, equitable long-term care to ALTCS members in every county, expanding its current service area. When contract negotiations conclude, the new contract is expected to be effective Oct. 1, 2024, for an initial period of three years, with the possibility of four one-year extensions.
“We are honored to be selected to continue serving Arizona’s long-term care members and our expansion statewide is evidence of our long-standing commitment to the health of Arizona,” said Jean Kalbacher, CEO, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Arizona. “We look forward to continue partnering with AHCCCS to provide Arizonans with whole-person, equitable care to help them live healthier lives.”
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Arizona currently serves more than 8,600 long-term care EPD members in north and central Arizona by providing integrated whole-person care, including case management and long-term services and supports. The health plan has served Arizona’s long-term care population since the ALTCS program’s inception in 1989.
In total, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Arizona serves more than 500,000 members in Arizona’s Medicaid, ALTCS EPD and Division of Developmental Disabilities programs, the most of any Medicaid health plan in Arizona. Additionally, the health plan has been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) with the Health Plan Accreditation and Long-Term Services and Supports Distinction.
