Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Medical Group Participation Agreement between Cochise County and United Healthcare for a period of three years that can be automatically renewed for subsequent one-year periods.
Background:
United Healthcare was awarded the AHCCCS contract for Cochise County effective 10/1/13, replacing Mercy Care. In order for Cochise County to continue billing AHCCCS for children’s vaccines, this contract is necessary.
Radi Ann Porter (Director of Nursing) has reviewed and is satisfied with the Participation Agreement from an operational perspective, and Terry Bannon has reviewed and is satisfied from a legal standpoint.
By executing this contract with United Healthcare, Cochise County will be able to continue to bill AHCCCS for United Healthcare’s members in Cochise County.
