Please note, uninsured is defined as a person that has been verified by the Contractor as not having any medical 
insurance (commercial or AHCCCS). The fact that a Contractor does not contract with an individual’s particular 
health plan does not make the person uninsured. Contractors must perform due diligence to collect and verify 
insurance information on all patients before submitting invoices for payment. The Contractor must submit a 
report from the Arizona Immunization Information System detailing patient information.  
Contractors failing to accurately verify insurance information of patients may incur penalties such as 
chargebacks, temporary suspension of services, or even termination.
