Equality Health Direct™, a division of Equality Health, is a Direct Contracting Entity (DCE) in Arizona that works directly with local healthcare professionals to provide coordinated high-quality care for Medicare beneficiaries.

Equality Health Direct is participating an innovative federal program, Global and Professional Direct Contracting (“Direct Contracting” or GPDC), that supports coordinated care for Medicare beneficiaries by helping primary care providers coordinate care across multiple settings, spend more time with patients with complex conditions, and improve patient outcomes. We are voluntarily participating in this new initiative because we believe it will help improve the quality care for patients.
