DAP Program and Health Information Exchange
The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment (AHCCCS) Differential Adjusted Payment (DAP) aims to

An integral part of the DAP program includes participation in and meeting milestones related to a qualifying Health Information Exchange (HIE) organization such as Health Current, Arizona’s sole qualifying HIE.
