Arizona Medical Assistance
An integral component of promoting the safety, well-being, and self-sufficiency of children, adults, and families in Arizona is in ensuring access to health care services. To this end, the Department of Economic Security (DES), in partnership with the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), determines individuals’ eligibility for Medical Assistance.
The medical coverage provided by AHCCCS to thousands of Arizonans each year may include doctor’s office visits, physical exams, immunizations, prenatal care, hospital care and prescriptions.
Because many individuals who qualify for medical assistance are also likely having difficulty meeting other basic needs – such as food and shelter – the DES application for medical assistance also serves as an application for cash assistance and food stamps. Through this efficiency, families only have to provide information once to determine if they are eligible for the supportive services that are going to enhance their family’s well-being.
The Family Assistance Administration has over 90 local offices throughout the state providing services. To display the FAA office that provides your services, please click on Location by Zip , Location by City or Display All Offices and Zip Codes Serviced.
