Contracting Tips and FAQs

Contracting Tips

  • Register with AHCCCS Administration as a provider for AHCCCS and maintain it throughout the term of this agreement. Banner Health Plans (BHP) is not responsible for payment to non-registered providers.  Follow all terms of your contract and adhere to BHP’s Provider Manual when applicable. 
  • Notify BHP Provider Contracting at least 30 days before the effective date of any changes in tax identification number, services, the organization’s legal name change, or any requested changes to your contract.
  • BHP will return the executed contract once the signed contract is completely loaded in BHP systems.
  • Please note that submission of an AzAHP form does not guarantee that a provider contract will be offered to your practice or organization.
