Report
I've been with CHA in Bisbee, Arizona since Feb, 2018. I was told I would have 2 case managers.... 1 I would meet with once per month, the second every other month. This has NOT happened, I've only met with 1 of them, ONCE!!! I voiced my concerns to my Doctor, and the Director of CHA in Bisbee, and requested a new case management team... The Director ignored my request. I cannot recommend Community Health Associates of Arizona as those above the Director of CHA in Bisbee, have ignored me as well.
