How does quality of medical care differ between those who pay privately for their health care and ALTCS members?
Arizona Long-Term Care System members receive the same courtesy and medical treatment as those who pay for health care out-of-pocket. In fact, health care providers are legally required to treat their patients equally, so ALTCS members are protected from discrimination by the force of law. Thus, with ALTCS/Medicaid, individuals are eligible to receive quality health care, but are not burdened with overwhelming out-of-pocket expenses.
