More than 30 Arizona employers have joined a patient-centered medical home program that UnitedHealthcare and IBM introduced in 2009, according to a release from UnitedHealthcare.
The Arizona program currently includes seven medical practices and 25 physicians in Phoenix and Tucson, serving hundreds of people.
Each patient is paired with a primary care physician who leads a team responsible for that patient’s care. UnitedHealthcare said it is one of the most advanced medical home offerings in the nation.
UnitedHealthcare is also involved in medical home programs in Colorado, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island.
