ASPIN

What ASPIN does

ASPIN (Affiliated Service Providers of Indiana, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit behavioral health provider and education network incorporated in November 1995 and headquartered in Carmel and Warsaw, Indiana. The organization operates a statewide network of 50+ clinical provider locations across all 92 Indiana counties, delivers free health insurance enrollment assistance via the only statewide CMS Navigator Cooperative Agreement in Indiana, and runs a portfolio of certified training programs including the state's first Department of Labor-approved Community Health Worker apprenticeship. ASPIN's mission centers on reducing health disparities, expanding the behavioral health workforce, and providing health coverage access to underserved populations.

ASPIN's core technology consists of an asynchronous online training platform delivering self-paced courses on CHW certification, CHW/CPRSS dual certification, navigator pre-certification, continuing education, and opioid-impacted family support, complemented by EHR Go electronic health record simulation modules integrated into Chronic Care training. The training products enable graduates to bill under Indiana Medicaid for CHW and Peer services. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: the dominant streams are federal grants (over $15M from HRSA across 15+ awards, over $4.7M from CMS across 9 Cooperative Agreements, plus a $750K State of Indiana award) and managed state contracts (over $157M in clinical services contracts administered over 25 years for the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction), supplemented by fee-for-service training income ($125 to $1,550 per certification, $25 per CE credit hour) and Medicaid billing enablement through the trained workforce.

ASPIN serves three primary customer segments: Indiana residents needing health insurance enrollment assistance (60,000-70,000 served annually); community mental health centers and behavioral health providers participating in the network as member organizations and apprenticeship hosts; and workforce candidates pursuing CHW, CPRSS, and paraprofessional credentials. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer delivery (statewide call center, mobile navigator offices, virtual appointments) with a network-based model routed through 45+ partner agencies including schools, career centers, and community organizations across rural and urban Indiana.
