Does Arizona use Healthcare.gov?
Yes. Arizona participates in the federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM) at healthcare.gov. Arizona does not operate a state-based exchange for PY2026.
What is AHCCCS and does it affect my Marketplace eligibility?
AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System) is Arizona's Medicaid agency. Arizona expanded Medicaid in January 2014, so adults 19-64 with income up to 138% FPL qualify for AHCCCS regardless of parental status or disability. If you are AHCCCS-eligible, you generally cannot get APTC on a Marketplace plan. If your income is above 138% FPL, you shop on healthcare.gov.
Does Arizona have a state premium subsidy or reinsurance program?
