Arizona Care Network

What Arizona Care Network does

Arizona Care Network (ACN) is a physician-governed accountable care organization headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, that contracts with payers and self-funded employers to deliver coordinated value-based care across a network of 5,500 doctors in 1,800 care locations serving more than 400,000 patients in the Arizona Valley. The network is anchored by founding health system partnerships with Dignity Health (now part of CommonSpirit Health), Abrazo Health, and Phoenix Children's Care Network, supplemented by hundreds of independent providers. ACN participates in the MSSP Enhanced ACO Model and contracts with major payers including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage, plus employer-sponsored arrangements such as Intel Connected Care and the Employers Health Network for Whole Foods.

The company's core technology layer is a population health and care coordination platform rather than a clinical product. Patient-facing tools include the Find a Provider search and Arizona Telehealth Providers; provider-facing tools include the Secure Provider Portal and Care Scorecard for quality and outcomes reporting. Care Coordination staff, including RNs and LPNs, are embedded into patient care teams at no bill to the patient, helping navigate referrals, chronic disease management, and behavioral health access. The MIND 24-7 partnership, announced in October 2025, added Tier 1 preferred behavioral health coverage to the network.

ACN's business model is value-based: revenue is generated through contracts where reimbursement is tied to quality metrics and shared savings, with care coordination services provided free of charge to patients. Distribution is direct via the contracted provider network, telehealth channels, and urgent care facilities, with employer-sponsored plans serving as a customer acquisition channel into attributed patient populations. ACN operates as a private, physician-governed entity without disclosed institutional ownership or external funding.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Privia Health Group: Privia Health is a national physician-enablement and value-based care platform that contracts with health systems and independent providers to operate ACOs and risk-bearing arrangements. It is directly comparable to ACN as a multi-payer, multi-region value-based care network, though at substantially larger scale.
• Agilon Health: Agilon Health is a value-based care platform that partners with primary care physicians to take global risk for senior populations, particularly through Medicare Advantage. It is comparable to ACN in its risk-bearing ACO model and physician-partner network, but operates at a national, multi-payer scale.
• Aledade: Aledade partners with independent primary care practices to form ACOs participating in MSSP and other value-based programs. It is highly comparable to ACN as an MSSP-focused ACO enabler, though Aledade operates a national network of independent practices rather than being anchored to a few health systems.

Regional players

• Banner Health Network: Banner Health Network is the physician/provider network arm of Banner Health, one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in Arizona. It directly overlaps with ACN in the Phoenix metro value-based care market and competes for the same payer and employer contracts.
• HonorHealth (Arizona): HonorHealth is a major Phoenix-area integrated health system with a physician network, employed medical group, and ACO-like value-based contracts. It directly overlaps with ACN's service area, payer relationships, and employer health channel in the Arizona market.

Broad incumbents

• CommonSpirit Health (Dignity Health Arizona): CommonSpirit Health is the parent of Dignity Health and a national, multi-state health system. While it is also one of ACN's anchor partners, its national scale and system-owned payer/employer relationships make it a broad incumbent that could in theory build or acquire competing ACO capability in the Arizona market.
• Abrazo Health (Tenet Healthcare): Abrazo Health is a Phoenix-area hospital system owned by Tenet Healthcare and is a Core partner of ACN. As an incumbent with multi-campus hospital infrastructure, it shares ACN's value-based care objectives in the same geography and is a structural comparator for hospital-anchored risk networks.
• VillageMD: VillageMD is a national value-based primary care platform owned by Walgreens Boots Alliance. It competes with ACN for attributed lives in the Phoenix market and represents the broader tech-enabled, retail-backed primary care model that ACN is positioned against.
• One Medical (Amazon): One Medical is a membership-based primary care platform now owned by Amazon. It is a broad incumbent in value-based primary care with national footprint, technology depth, and employer-channel reach that materially exceed ACN's, representing the upper-bound comparator for digitally-enabled primary care networks.

Emerging players

• InnovAge Holding Corp. InnovAge operates the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program, a risk-bearing model for dual-eligible seniors. It is an adjacent comparator to ACN in taking global risk for defined populations, though focused specifically on the PACE model rather than a broad commercial/Medicare ACO.
