At Valleywise Health, we believe everyone should be able to get the care they need, regardless of their ability to pay.
We know that changes in insurance, income, or other life events can make it harder to pay for health care. That’s why we are making changes to help make care more affordable, costs easier to understand, and it simpler for patients to get the care they need.
Starting November 9, 2026, Valleywise Health is updating its Financial Assistance and Uninsured Discount Program fees. These new fees are meant to make care more affordable and help patients know what to expect when it comes to costs.
Many laboratory and imaging services will cost less. Most procedures done during an office visit will be included in the visit fee. Prenatal care packages will also be more affordable. Vaccines given during a patient visit are included in the visit fee, except in a few special cases.
Our goal at Valleywise is simple: your financial circumstances should not stop you or your family from getting the care you need.
What You Should Know
If you do not have insurance, have lost your health coverage, or your financial circumstances have changed, do not wait to get the care you or your family need. Valleywise Health can help you learn about your options and see if you can get financial help.
If you are a Valleywise Health patient and have questions about your AHCCCS or insurance coverage, contact a Valleywise Health Eligibility Specialist at 602-344- 2550.
The updated FQHC Financial Assistance Sliding Fee Discount Schedule takes effect November 9, 2026.
We want to make it easier and more affordable for patients to get the care they need. The updated schedule lowers the cost of several services, makes costs more predictable and includes many services as part of the office visit fee. These changes are intended to reduce financial barriers that could cause patients or families to delay needed care.
For patients in Financial Assistance Categories 1 through 4, office visit fees are not changing. Depending on household income and eligibility, the fee remains $25, $50, $60 or $70.
Yes. Diagnostic lab services for Financial Assistance Categories 1 through 4 will range from $5 to $20, and imaging services will range from $5 to $25. The new fixed fees also make it easier for patients to know what they can expect to pay.
Vaccines provided during a patient visit are included as part of the visit. There is no additional charge for vaccines provided through Arizona’s Vaccines for Children (VFC) or Vaccines for Adults (VFA) programs or for administering those vaccines.
Flu vaccines provided during a separate nurse-only visit are $20 for a standard flu vaccine and $60 for a high-dose flu vaccine.
Most procedures performed in the office are included in the office visit fee, making it easier to receive needed care during the same visit. Certain services have separate charges. IUDs and Nexplanon require payment for the contraceptive in addition to the applicable office visit fee, and newborn circumcision has a separate $270 fee.
The cost depends on your Financial Assistance category:
The prenatal package includes prenatal services as defined in the prenatal financial agreement. Delivery and other non-FQHC services are not included.
Eligibility is based on household income and family size using the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Valleywise Health offers four Financial Assistance categories for eligible patients with household incomes up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
