Provider Overview

Our Philosophy

At BCBSAZ Health Choice Pathway, we are committed to a collaborative approach with physicians, hospitals, and all other providers in the medical communities we serve.

Our team brings an open vision to Arizona. We believe that those who provide care should be the leaders in creating and constructing new, better, and less invasive mechanisms for the delivery of the care they provide. We are provider-owned and we understand both the rewards and difficulties of managed care and health plan/provider relationships.

We believe our members deserve the highest quality medical care while being treated with both compassion and respect. Assisting you so that you can devote your time to providing quality patient care is one of our highest priorities. Our commitment to you is to support the doctor-patient relationship by streamlining the delivery of care.

What We Offer Our Physician Network

BCBSAZ Health Choice Pathway brings the expertise and road maps necessary to understand, participate in and maximize the value of the sweeping changes affecting the delivery of health care.

We offer real-time tools, technology and up-to-date information to our physicians and providers. We will assist and offer guidance to physicians and hospitals for the purpose of building partnerships, patient-centered medical homes and other entities that will maximize quality and reward performance.
