Fees and Payment
SB&H does not discriminate against any person receiving care because of his/her ability to pay for the services or because payments for those services are made under Title XVIII (Medicare) or Title XIX (Medicaid/AHCCCS), or for reasons of race, color, sex, national origin, disability or religion. We offer integrated health care services on a sliding fee discount for patients without health care coverage based on their ability to pay. This may include a nominal charge or no charge. We accept assignment under the Social Security Act for all services for which payment may be made under Part B of Title XVIII (Medicare) and Title XIX (Medicaid/AHCCCS).
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
