If an Arizona resident is under 26 years of age and wishes to get AHCCCS coverage and when they turned 18 they were under Foster Care through the DES (Department of Economic Security), they may be able to qualify for AHCCCS regardless of how much money they make. This medical coverage by the AHCCCS assists in residents being able to visit a doctor, get their immunizations, have physical exams, get prescriptions filled and get hospital care.
