Since January 1, 2015, PathfinderHealth has managed the Northern Arizona Healthcare self-insured employee population. Communication about the ACO Tier 1 providers is provided to NAH employees via the NAH employee portal. Employees are encouraged to thoughtfully consider Tier 1 providers when selecting care. Tier 1 providers are those who have joined the PathfinderHealth organization and are committed to improving the quality of care for NAH employees and their families. NAH has encouraged employees to consider quality of care, collaboration with other providers in the ACO and out-of-pocket costs when selecting their providers.

The population consists of individuals and families purchasing PCP Coordinated Care HMO plans on or off the Exchange.
