Effective January 1, 2022, AHCCCS will be implementing an encounter edit for school based services. All school based fee-for-service claims will need to be submitted with a CTDS (County Code, Type Code, and District Code and Site Number) code.

You may access this code by looking it up on the AHCCCS School CTDS RF7C4 document or by using the Arizona Department of Education CTDS search tool.

Detailed information on how to bill for CTDS code is available for further review in the AHCCCS-Fee For-Services Manual under Chapter 10 - Reporting School Site Information for Services Performed in Schools. The code must be added to the claim as specified in the AHCCCS Fee For Services Manual.
