Fraudulent Phone Calls Spoofing ADHS

The Arizona Department of Health Services is warning the public about fraudulent phone calls impersonating our agency. Scammers are using our main line ending in 1025 to make their calls look official.

They may claim you must immediately pick up medication due to a “notice from Washington D.C.” and provide fake employee badge or investigating numbers to sound legitimate. ADHS does not dispense medication to the public. ADHS would not request personal financial information from the public.

These calls are not from ADHS. If you receive a call, DO NOT share any personal details and simply hang up. You do not need to take any action.
