The launch date for AHCCCS Complete Care is 10-1-2018. B-UFC is laser-focused on building an innovative platform to equip our provider partners with additional tools and resources to serve this most vulnerable population.
This is the first in a series of communications that we will use to keep you informed of vital transitional information. As a key player, we are committed to the vision of AHCCCS Complete Care. Our focus will be on the member and family. Our care model is aligned to evidence-based clinical decision-making, provider alignment, and member and/or family engagement.
Some key elements of the Banner-University Family Care platform will consist of the following:
- B-UFC will introduce the Complete Care Continuum (C3) as a model of care and engagement that aligns all those involved in a member’s life in a seamless supported environment.
- Our Neighborhood Network Structure, where we work hand in hand with providers, members, and communities to provide comprehensive care for vulnerable members.
- The introduction of innovative technologies in our Banner Navigation Accelerator to improve care navigation and coordinated health management at both the health plan (B-UFC Complete Care Management) and provider (Integrated Case Management) level to ensure member-centric improved health outcomes.
B-UFC is planning a series of Provider Education Forums and webinars to assist providers in the transition. You will receive follow-up communications with a schedule of events and locations. In the interim we encourage you to take full advantage of the resource link below to the AHCCCS Complete Care Website, which contains a very informative video, a map that outlines the different health plans and service area alignment, and other important details.
