Behavioral Health
AHCCCS Complete Care (ACC) Began October 1, 2018
RBHAs are Aligned With ACC Plan Names
Especially for American Indian Members
- TRBHAs did not change on October 1, 2018
- Members can get integrated (physical and behavioral health services) through the ACC Plan or American Indian Health Program (AIHP)
- Members may continue to receive behavioral health services from a TRBHA (where available) if enrolled with AIHP
- No change to services or enrollment for members with Serious Mental Illness
- Members can still access services from IHS/638 facility at any time regardless of enrollment
- Tribal members continue to have choice at any time
Most AHCCCS members receive all behavioral health services through their chosen ACC plan instead of from a RBHA.
Services include but are not limited to:
- Mental health counseling
- Psychiatric and psychologist services
- Opioid Use Disorder and Treatment
However, the RBHAs and TRBHAs continue to serve:
- Foster children enrolled in CMDP, including those CMDP members who have a CRS condition
- Members enrolled with DES/DDD
- Individuals determined to have a Serious Mental Illness.
RBHA-covered services did not change for these members. RBHAs also continue to provide crisis, grant funded and state-only funded services. To align with their respective ACC health plans in each geographic service area, the names of the RBHAs changed on Oct. 1. 2018.
