Approve Amendment 3 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) YH16-0018-13 between the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) and Cochise County, effective May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023.

Background:

This Intergovernmental Agreement with the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System allows the Cochise County Detention Medical Clinic to be charged at a lower rate when inmates have to be hospitalized.

Amendment # 3 extends our agreement with AHCCCS for another year.

§  Send signed approved IGA is sent back to AHCCCS
