The Community Access Program of Arizona-Mexico CAPAZ-MEX is a Medical Safety Net to the uninsured and vulnerable residents of Yuma County.

It is a program that facilitates access to professional healthcare at discounts prices the uninsured can afford.

A system that provides you with a medical home for primary and preventive healthcare. In addition, should the need arise, the CAPAZ-MEX Discount Network provides a discount for specialty, diagnostic, and inpatient care.

It is an opportunity for members to participate in their own care by allowing affordable care, provided by Yuma County Healthcare Providers, at greatly reduced prices.

CAPAZ-MEX is a Discount Network, not a health insurance for Yuma County Residents in which the member is responsible for payment to healthcare provider at the time of the visit.

The CAPAZ-MEX Discount Network works as follows:

The CAPAZ-MEX Discount Network membership is available to Yuma County residents who have income levels too high to qualify for health programs such as AHCCCS, yet cannot afford traditional health insurance.

Perspective members are screened prior to insure the 100 – 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and then enrolled in a low annual fee healthcare discount program. The member is made aware of his/her responsibility for payment of healthcare at discounted rate.

The qualified member is then assigned a “Medical Home” for primary healthcare with one of the participant primary care health providers.

If need for specialty healthcare, diagnostic, testing, or inpatient care arises, the member is referred to a participant healthcare specialist where the member will obtain services at a discounted rate.

The CAPAZ-MEX Discount Network is not an insurance program; members will self-pay based upon pre-negotiated discounted rates.
