DDD-THP is a fee-for-service program that allows eligible members to receive services at any AHCCCS registered fee-for-service provider in Arizona that sees fee-for-service THP members.
THP members receive assessed Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS), or Home and Community Based Services (HCBS), from one or more DDD Qualified Vendors. These services are typically assessed by the member’s Support Coordinator.
American Indian/Alaska Native members can also receive physical and behavioral health services from any Indian Health Service (IHS) provider or tribally owned/operated facility at any time without prior approval.

American Indians/Alaska Natives that choose the DDD THP can receive behavioral health services from a Tribal Regional Behavioral Health Authority (TRBHA), if one is available in their area. To receive behavioral health services from a TRBHA, members should call the AHCCCS Enrollment Unit:
- From area codes (480), (602), and (623) call 602-417-7100
- From area codes (520) and (928) call 1-800-334-5283
Obtaining THP Services
THP members may receive health care services from AHCCCS-registered providers that see THP fee-for-service members or Indian Health Facilities (the Indian Health Service, tribally-operated "638" health programs, urban Indian health clinics).
Provider Directory
The Provider Directory is a searchable listing of AHCCCS registered providers by Specialty. Call the provider’s office and verify if they accept DDD-THP prior to scheduling an appointment.
To search for a provider, you can click the drop-down arrow on Specialty to select All or a specific type of Specialty, such as an Audiologist or Pediatric Psychiatrist. When you search, a listing of AHCCCS registered providers will appear and the provider’s Name, Specialty, Address and Phone number will be listed. Providers with multiple office locations will be listed under each location. You can also narrow your search by ZIP code or city.
The searchable online provider directory is available on the AHCCCS website.
Unique Program Choices
AI/AN members can switch their enrollment between DDD-THP and a DDD managed health care plan and back again at any time. However, a member can change from one managed health care plan to another (for example, Mercy Care Plan to United Healthcare Community Plan) only once a year.
