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.
