Each year, businesses are searching for ways to keep their ever-increasing healthcare costs down. The AFMC Solution - Balancing Access, Quality and Total Cost of Care - provides the best value, long-term health plan options available to Arizona businesses.

For example, the Best Value Point of Service (POS) - the "jewel" of AFMC's family of network plans - combines two of our networks: the EPO Network, which includes deeper discounts; and the PPO Network, which includes our full network of providers for optimum coverage.

The POS Network is broken down into three tiers - Best Value Hospitals, Traditional Hospitals, and Out-of Network Hospitals. Benefit differentials may exist between the three tiers to give plan members greater incentive to use the most cost effective providers*.

AFMC can also recommend ways to accommodate both rural and metro employer groups. In addition, we can help you evaluate your client's current health plan performance, and show you how AFMC plans and products will provide a better value. And, as your clients needs change, we'll be happy to help you re-evaluate those needs and offer you the services that will help you achieve those goals.

*Discounts will vary based on degree of plan member steerage to Best Value Hospitals and some customization of the network. Average discounts consist of inpatient & outpatient only. AFMC discounts reflect re-pricing before consideration of employee co-payments, deductibles or co-insurance (net costs to the plan).
