Notice of Co-pays for Taxi Rides for AHCCCS Care Members in Maricopa and Pima Counties

Beginning April 1, 2012, AHCCCS Care members in Maricopa and Pima counties will be charged a $2.00 co-pay each way for medically necessary taxi rides for services such as going to and from the doctor or the pharmacy. This means that AHCCCS Care members will be charged $2.00 each time a taxi is called and comes to pick up the member.  For example, if the taxi goes from the member’s home to the doctor, the AHCCCS Care member will be charged $2.00 for that ride. If a taxi is called back to pick up the member at the doctor’s office to go to the pharmacy,  $2.00 will be charged for that ride. If that taxi does not wait at the pharmacy and a taxi is called to take the member back home, another $2.00 will be charged for that ride.   So the AHCCCS Care member’s total co-pay in this example will be $6.00.
