How to Verify Your Coverage

1

Call the clinic

Call us at (928) 538-4325 with your insurance card in hand. Our team will verify your plan and explain any expected out-of-pocket costs.

2

Have your card ready

You'll need your member ID, group number, and the phone number on the back of your card. Knowing whether you have a referral requirement can also speed things up.
