Arizona Department of Insurance Arizona Basic Health Benefit Plan
Home > Insurers > Arizona Basic Health Benefit Plan
The Basic Health Benefit Plan may be provided through a commercial insurance carrier, a hospital and medical service corporation or a health care services organization that has been approved as an Accountable Health Plan.
The benefits and services of the Plan may be provided through an indemnity plan with or without a preferred provider network or through the restricted provider network of a health care services organization (health maintenance organization).
The Basic Health Benefit Plan may be offered to any employer at any time.
The Basic Health Benefit Plan must include coverage for the following:
Immediate coverage for children newly born, adopted or placed for adoption pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826, 20-1057 or 20-1402.
Continuing coverage beyond the limiting age for a child handicapped or disabled pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826 or 20-1407.
Benefits for surgical service which is covered by the policy regardless of the place the surgery is performed pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826, 20-1051 or 20-1402.
Benefits for home health services prescribed in lieu of inpatient hospital care pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826, 20-1051 or 20-1402.
Benefits for diagnostic services performed outside a hospital in lieu of inpatient service pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826, 20-1051 or 20-1402.
Benefits for services performed in a hospital's outpatient department or in a freestanding surgical facility pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826, 20-1051 or 20-1402.
Benefits for breast reconstructive surgery and external postoperative prosthesis following a covered mastectomy pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826, 20-1057 or 20-1402.
Benefits for mammography screening pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-826, 20-1057 or 20-1402.
Reimbursement for services within the lawful scope of practice of a registered nurse practitioner or a certified registered nurse qualified under the rules adopted by the State Board of Nursing pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 20-841.03 or 20-1406.03.
Effective July 13, 1995, pursuant to A.R.S. § 20-2321 the Basic Health Benefit Plan also provides that the maternity benefits apply to the cost of the birth of a child who is legally adopted by the enrollee.
With respect to those benefits, the Basic Health Benefit Plan issued by an Accountable Health Plan must contain benefit definitions, language, certificates of coverage, provider definitions, exclusions and limitations and commission structures that are comparable to its most commonly used, or what is presumed to be its most commonly used, group health plan closest in size to the small employer group health plans currently being offered by that Accountable Health Plan in this state.
Attached is the schedule of benefits for the Basic Health Benefit Plan.
