Tempe is home to about 188,000 residents within the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro, and Maricopa County supports a wide care network with 61 hospitals and 11,620 beds. Private, off-exchange plans give Tempe households choices that can align with local doctors and facilities across the East Valley.

Private plans in Tempe commonly come as HMOs, PPOs, EPOs, or POS options. HMO means Health Maintenance Organization, usually requiring you to stay in-network and select a primary care doctor. PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization, which typically lets you see in-network specialists without referrals and offers some out-of-network coverage. EPO is an Exclusive Provider Organization, similar to an HMO but often without referrals, and POS is Point of Service, which blends HMO-style coordination with limited out-of-network benefits.
Choosing between these types depends on how and where you get care. If you want broad access across the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro, a PPO or POS may offer more flexibility. If you prefer a focused network centered around your Tempe providers, an HMO or EPO can be a strong fit. We will map your doctors and hospitals to each network so you can balance access, convenience, and total costs.
When you evaluate private plans, start with your Tempe and East Valley doctors and hospitals, then compare deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and the out-of-pocket maximum. Review the prescription drug list, telehealth options, and mental health benefits. Because Maricopa County includes Health Professional Shortage Area designations for primary care, dental, and mental health, network breadth and virtual care access can be especially important.
