Arizona Priority Care is a network of community physicians, both primary care physicians and specialists. We partner with these physicians to deliver the highest quality coordinated patient care for those patients covered by the health plans with which we contract. We support our partner physicians with a variety of programs to allow them to focus on patient care. These programs include Star Rewards, HCC University, coding review to increase RAF and incentive payments, and at home urgent care services.

Arizona Priority Care is an affiliated office of Heritage Provider Network (HPN). HPN was established in 1979 when founder Dr. Richard Merkin was asked by a local health plan to create a medical group in an underserved area. As HPN implemented its comprehensive approach to care management, the group thrived beyond expectations. HPN’s success caught the attention of other health plans, who, over the years, requested that HPN duplicate this success in new geographic locations. Arizona is the most recent addition to the HPN family of health care.
The Primary Care Physician (PCP) you have chosen is a participating physician with the Arizona Priority Care network of physicians, who work together to help provide you with quality, coordinated and affordable healthcare. This means that when a referral to a specialist is required, your PCP will work together with Arizona Priority Care to facilitate the services needed for you. We are here to help you and your PCP to ensure that you receive the best care possible.
