Role of a Provider

The key to the success of the Baby Arizona program is the provider network.

When a pregnant women begins the Baby Arizona process she is provided with a physician's name, practice address and phone number. Usually, this referral will occur by the Arizona Department of Health Services Pregnancy & Breast Feeding Hotline or other participating referral systems.

When contacted by a referred patient or the hotline, the office will schedule an appointment and assist in the eligibility process. The office will perform the same clinical services for a referred patient on the initial visit that the office provides for patients referred from other sources. If a patient is subsequently determined not to be eligible, the office will continue to render care upon a reasonable payment schedule developed between the office and the patient.

If a patient who is determined eligible opts to receive care from another provider, the office will transfer her records to that provider within ten working days of receiving release from the patient.

The provider may withdraw from participating in this program at any time upon written notice. A signed form should be faxed to (602) 417-4162, or mailed to the following address:
