The Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) is asking behavioral health professionals, advocates, potential bidders, current providers, and other partners to help build a new framework for behavioral health services in Colorado by responding to a request for information (RFI).
The framework will create Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organizations (BHASOs) that will establish, administer, and maintain regional networks of behavioral healthcare providers that serve people across Colorado. BHASOs will consolidate the current fragmented behavioral healthcare provider networks into regions, emphasizing a “no wrong door” approach.
To respond to the request for information (RFI) and give feedback on the BHASOs framework, follow the steps below:
- Visit http://www.colorado.gov/vss
- Select either Register or Public Access on the left side of the screen
- Use the keyword search box to search for “Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organizations RFI”
The RFI is open for responses from August 28 – October 13, 2023, at 12:00 PM Mountain Standard Time (MST).
To learn more about Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organizations and to follow along with progress and implementation, visit https://bha.colorado.gov/our-partners and click the “Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organizations (BHASOs)” dropdown at the bottom of the page.
