Organization Key Facts

The Arizona Foundation is committed to delivering the best value to our customers, while providing access to quality medical care. Take a look at these facts about our provider network:

Structure: There are essentially three corporate entities in the organization:

• The Arizona Foundation was established in 1969 and is governed by an all physician Board of Trustees who are elected by the membership of the Arizona Foundation. VyStream, a subsidiary of Arizona Foundation, is a recognized leader as an EDI Clearinghouse, Claims Re-pricer and Document Management Solution in the healthcare arena. They specialize in providing full front-end services from scanning, optical character recognition (OCR), data and image archiving, to complete re-pricing service applications, including the loading of pricing, provider and member data. By receiving "clean claims" in HIPAA-compliant formats, VyStream clients achieve higher auto-adjudication rates, maintain peak-level processing capacity, and eliminate their backlog - all with guaranteed turnaround time and data accuracy.

All of the above corporations are organized under the laws of the State of Arizona as not-for-profit corporations and neither the Medical Society nor the Arizona Foundation pay taxes on the income they receive from their tax-exempt activities. The Medical Society Business Services and VyStream pay taxes on income from their activities the same as any regular corporation.
