What is Arizona Care Network Insurance?
Arizona Care Network (ACN) is a physician-led, clinically integrated network and accountable care organization (ACO) in Arizona, a joint venture between Dignity Health Arizona and Abrazo Health (a Tenet Health company). ACN partners with various health plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers like Bright Health and UnitedHealthcare, to offer coordinated, cost-effective care through a network of over 6,000 providers, including primary care physicians, specialists, and facilities like Phoenix Children’s Hospital. ACN plans are designed for individuals, families, and employees through employer-sponsored or direct-to-employer contracts. At Dermatology Associates, we accept ACN-affiliated plans to ensure you have access to expert dermatology services in Phoenix. Learn more about ACN at their official website.
