Learn How to Become a Participating Provider
When providers are contracted with Phoenix Health Plan, a Provider Service representative will be assigned to your practice and will serve as your primary point of contact. Your representative will visit you and your office staff on a regular basis to share important information and assist you with your administrative or operational concerns.
