Why Your Clients Love AZ Blue

AZ Blue still gets a big thumbs up! Members loved our $0 Classic Plan in 2025—here’s why they’ll stick with us!

What keeps members coming back:

Access to Preferred Providers - AZ Blue members have access to over 18,000 providers across Arizona. This extensive local network lets members continue seeing their trusted healthcare providers without interruption.

Help Members Understand Costs - AZ Blue plans offer competitive pricing with lower maximum out-of-pocket limits and $0 monthly premiums on select plans. To help members evaluate costs, you can give them the Medicare Plan Evaluation Worksheet. It lets members compare their current plan with other options, reinforcing our value.

Extensive Medication Coverage – AZ Blue plans include a robust formulary covering a wide range of medications. Our plans also include convenient mail order and 100-day supplies.

Valued Dental Benefits – Members receive either $2,000 or $3,000 in comprehensive dental coverage annually on select plans. This includes preventive and comprehensive dental services, allowing members to maintain their oral health without extra financial burden.
