A Health Plan with an Advantage
Desert Canyon Community Care is easy to join. If you're eligible for Medicare Parts A and B, live in Mohave, Yavapai and Coconino counties and do not have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD-Kidney Disease) you're eligible to join Desert Canyon Community Care.
You cannot enroll in this plan if your current or former employer helps pay for your drugs.

Members may enroll in a plan only during specific times of the year. Please contact Member Service at 1-800-573-8597, TTY/TDD 1-866-573-8591 Monday – Sunday, 8 A.M. – 8 P.M., except holidays. You cannot enroll in this plan if your current or former employer helps pay for your drugs. Desert Canyon Community Care’s Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit is only available to members of the MA-PD Plan. If you are already enrolled in a MA-PD Plan, you must receive the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit through that Plan. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another third-party. Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in Desert Canyon Community Care through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Online Enrollment Center, located at www.medicare.gov. For more information contact Desert Canyon Community Care at 1-800-573-8597, TTY/TDD 1-866-573-8591 Monday – Sunday, 8 A.M. – 8 P.M., except holidays.
Beneficiaries interested in qualifying for extra help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan costs should call: 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) (TTY/TDD users should call 1-877-486-2048, 24 hours a day/7days a week), or your state Medicaid office, or the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 between 7 A.M. and 7 P.M., Monday through Friday (TTY/TDD users should call 1-800-325-0778).
If you obtain routine care from out-of-plan providers neither Medicare nor Desert Canyon Community Care will be responsible for the costs. Members must use network pharmacies to access their prescription drug benefits, except under non-routine circumstances when they cannot reasonably use network pharmacies. You will be required to pay the difference between what we would pay for a prescription filled at an in-network pharmacy and what the out-of-network pharmacy charged for your prescriptions.
Desert Canyon Community Care is provided by Arcadian Health Plan, Inc., a Coordinated Care Plan with Medicare Advantage contract. Desert Canyon Community Care’s contract with CMS is renewed annually and the availability of coverage beyond the end of the current contract year is not guaranteed.
