A: You will need to email EDICustomerSupport@azahcccs.gov and provide the following information:
• Customer Name
• Organization Name
• Customer Email Address
• Customer Telephone Number
• 6-digit AHCCCS Provider ID and/or NPI
• Clearinghouse (if applicable)
As long as the clearinghouse is an AHCCCS certified trading partner for Electronic Claim Submission (ECS) or 837 transaction, they can submit electronic claims for any AHCCCS registered provider; there is no additional ECS setup requirement for the provider or the clearinghouse to fulfill as far as AHCCCS is concerned.
