: AHCCCS Balance billing when AHCCCS is secondary

Hi

I am hearing that for AHCCCS patients, you cannot balance bill. If so, does that apply to cases even when AHCCCS is secondary insurance?

Thanks so much

AHCCS Is Medicaid for AZ. They would be a payor of last resort and you wouldn't be able to bill the patient.
