Health Solutions West

What Health Solutions West does

Health Solutions West is a private nonprofit community mental health center operating across Northwestern Colorado, with 10+ outpatient locations spanning 10 counties and a 23,000-square-mile service area. The organization delivers a continuum of behavioral health care including outpatient therapy and counseling, psychiatry and medication management, residential treatment, withdrawal management, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, Intensive and Enhanced Outpatient Programs (IOP/EOP), the ASCENT first-episode psychosis program, child and adolescent psychiatry, peer support, supported employment, family psychoeducation, supportive housing, and chronic disease management. Service delivery is supported by Open Access walk-in assessment hours, telehealth video consultations in Eagle, Aspen, Rangely, and Walden, and a 24/7 Mobile Crisis Response Team operating across six counties integrated with the 988 Colorado Mental Health Line.

The organization was formerly known as Mind Springs Health and rebranded to Health Solutions West, with a related Health Solutions West Foundation entity. It accepts Health First Colorado (Medicaid), Medicare, and most major commercial insurance plans (Aetna, Anthem, Carelon, Cigna, Kaiser, TRICARE, United Healthcare), offers a sliding fee scale for clients at or below 300% of Federal Poverty Guidelines, and operates Employee Assistance Programs with employer clients including the Town of Vail, Town of Avon, Vail Resorts (via Compsych), Steamboat Ski Corporation, and Aspen Music Festival and School.

The business model is a hybrid of fee-for-service insurance billing, government payor reimbursement (Medicaid/Medicare), self-pay with income-based sliding scale, and subscription-style EAP contracts. Distribution is direct to consumers via physical clinics, walk-in access, telehealth, and crisis lines, with employer EAP channels providing a B2B overlay. There is no disclosed revenue, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the input data; no AI/ML capabilities are evidenced.
