Revenue model

1. Government Contracts: State and federal funding through contracts with the Arkansas Department of Human Services for CMHC services, mobile crisis, forensic restoration, and services to incarcerated individuals. The company historically absorbed funding gaps to maintain access to care but cited a $4.4 million reduction as unsustainable.
2. Medicaid and PASSE Reimbursement: Revenue from Medicaid clients and PASSE (Provider-led Arkansas Shared Savings Entity) members for behavioral health services
3. Private Insurance: Payment from private insurance plans for behavioral health and substance use treatment services
4. Self-Pay: Self-pay options including cash and credit card payments for services such as Domestic Violence Education Program
5. Grants and Donations: Charitable grants from foundations such as the Willard & Pat Walker Charitable Foundation ($1.25 million in 2023) for facility renovations and service enhancement
