Benefits & features

Health Icon

Preventive and Routine Care

Covered in full when provided by a primary care provider that participates with RMHP. Includes immunizations (shots), checkups, and routine exams. Children need many preventive care services. If you are not sure if your child needs preventive care services, ask your child’s primary care provider if any care is needed.

Medical Office visits are covered for Primary Care Provider (PCP) visits and specialty visits with in-network providers.

Mental Health Icon

Behavioral Health/Mental Health Care Services

You do not need a referral (approval in advance) from your Primary Care Provider (PCP) to get mental or behavioral health services from a specialist, hospital, or other provider that is in RMHP’s network. Your mental health service provider may need to get approval in advance from RMHP for some services.

Example of services include but are not limited to:

File a complaint about access to behavioral health care

Your health plan is subject to the Mental Health Parity Addiction Equity Act of 2008. This means that your covered behavioral health benefits cannot be more difficult to access than physical health benefits. A denial, restriction, or withholding of behavioral health services could be a potential violation of the parity act. File a complaint with the Behavioral Health Ombudsman Office of Colorado if you have a parity concern.

Behavioral Health Ombudsman Office of Colorado

A representative of the Ombudsman Office will call or reply to you directly. You can also ask your behavioral health provider or guardian/legal representative to file a complaint for you.

How to ask for an appeal for a child who is denied residential treatment

If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18 and your child was denied residential mental health treatment by, Rocky Mountain Health Plans, you have the right to request an additional review of this decision under the Child Mental Health Treatment Act (CMHTA). This review is performed by the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration. The Behavioral Health Administration will have an independent professional perform a free review or assessment of your child and provide a second opinion on your appeal. You must request this review within five (5) calendar days after we make our decision about your appeal. You may request this third-party review even if you do not request a State Review for your appeal. If you want to ask the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration to review the decision we made about your appeal, write, call, or fax:

Care coordination is a way that RMHP helps members coordinate services for serious illnesses or injuries or helps to provide individualized support for complex or special needs. Care Coordinators at RMHP work with your doctors to make sure they talk to each other about your care. Sometimes your doctor or hospital may tell RMHP that an RMHP member needs a Care Coordinator. Care Coordinators also check to see if other services may work for you. This helps to make sure you are getting care that is medically necessary. You can also call and ask us for help.

Clinical Practice Guidelines

These Clinical Practice Guidelines (“Guidelines”) are not meant to replace the clinical judgment of a Member’s physician or other professional health care provider (collectively, “Providers”). As such, these Guidelines do not establish a standard of care or practice or replace appropriate clinical decision-making. These Guidelines must always be used in the context of a health care Provider's clinical judgment in the care of a particular patient.

For that reason, Guidelines may be viewed as an educational tool to provide information and assist Members and Providers in choosing appropriate health care for specific clinical conditions and diagnoses. Deviations from the Guidelines may be necessary and appropriate in certain individual circumstances.

Publication of these guidelines is not a promise or guarantee of coverage. Individuals should review their coverage documents or contact RMHP Member Services at 1-877-668-5947 to determine what health care services are covered benefits and if other conditions or limits of coverage apply.

You prepare your Advance Directive when you are able to make these decisions. Then, if there is a time when you are unable to make health treatment decisions, the directive will be followed. These instructions do not take away your right to decide what you want, if you are able to do so at the time a decision is needed.
