SB1164

Arizona SB1164 amends the Arizona long-term care system to address changes in ownership of skilled nursing facilities and other providers.

Arizona SB1164 modifies the Arizona long-term care system by adjusting how subcontracts for services are awarded and managed, particularly in cases of ownership changes. It mandates that subcontracts for services rendered by providers be awarded through competitive statewide proposals, similar to other state contracting processes. If a facility changes ownership, the administration and its program contractors must continue processing claims and making payments under the previous owner's certification number and subcontracts until the new owner completes the enrollment and contracting process.
