Who is Colorado Health Partnerships? (CHP)
Colorado Health Partnerships, (CHP) is a public/private partnership providing quality mental health services to Medicaid eligible members in southern and Western Colorado. CHP was formed in 1995, when 8 community mental health centers formed a partnership with ValueOptions®, the nation’s largest independent behavioral health and wellness company. Together, they formed a limited liability corporation (LLC). This LLC contracts with Colorado’s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.

These three LLCs encompass eight community mental health centers with responsibility for serving more than 160,000 Medicaid eligible members through eight community mental health centers that span 43 counties.
