Equality Health Direct™, a division of Equality Health, is an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) participating in CMS’ Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (REACH) Model in Arizona that works directly with local healthcare professionals to provide coordinated high-quality care for Medicare beneficiaries.

Equality Health Direct is participating in an innovative federal program, ACO REACH, which supports coordinated care for Medicare beneficiaries by helping primary care providers coordinate care across multiple settings, spend more time with patients with complex conditions, address inequities impacting overall care and improve patient outcomes. We are voluntarily participating in this initiative because we believe it will help improve the quality of care for patients.
