Arizona Senate Pushes for Smoking Cessation Treatments for State Medicaid Beneficiaries
Date:3/6/2008
icularly when those efforts can come with such strong economic benefits and are tied to a health issue that nearly all Arizonans can agree upon."
Currently, AHCCCS spends about $316 million each year on smoking-related illnesses -- totaling about 14 percent of the system's costs. If fully implemented, SB 1418 would make AHCCCS eligible to recover nearly 67 percent of those expenses through federal matching funds.
The measure will next go before the full Senate, then on to the House health committee before consideration by the full House.
