Fees and Payment
Self-pay: For those who are not covered by either a public or private health insurance plan, LCBHC utilizes a self-pay sliding scale based on household size and household income to determine service fees for assessments, counseling services, and/or group services. Self-pay psychiatric services are also available at set rates.
Public Health Insurance Plans: LCBHC provides behavioral health services to those enrolled with the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).
Private Health Insurance Plans: For those who have private insurance, LCBHC will work with your insurance company to determine your eligibility for behavioral health services. However, due to private insurance requirements, LCBHC has a limited number of private insurance providers and thereby a limited number of private insurance appointments.

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from Arizona's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Arizona's program.
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.
