Equality Health Working With Health Plans To Keep Medicaid Recipients Healthy

A Phoenix-based company will be working with Mercy Care Plan and Mercy Maricopa Integrated Plan to help Medicaid recipients stay healthy.

Equality Health has partnered with the groups, which work with the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, or AHCCCS.

Equality Health describes its work, in part, as trying to improve health outcomes for culturally diverse populations.

Dr. Mark Stephan is a family physician and medical director for Equality Health Network in Phoenix, and I asked him about some of the challenges of helping Medicaid patients stay healthy.
