Profiles in Coverage: Healthcare Group of Arizona

Created in 1985, Healthcare Group (HCG) of Arizona has provided health insurance to sole proprietors, small businesses with 50 or fewer employees, and Arizona political subdivisions for more than 20 years. Since that time, HCG has undergone significant changes. During the past three years, HCG has drastically increased enrollment without a federal or state subsidy. The State Coverage Initiatives (SCI) program recently discussed the revitalized HCG program with Anthony Rodgers, Director of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), who oversees HCG. The Profile in Coverage is available on the SCI website
