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.

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:

  • Outpatient Treatment
  • Inpatient Services
  • Mental Health Emergency Services
  • Substance Use Disorder Services
  • Medication Management
  • Day Treatment
  • Residential Treatment Services

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.

File a complaint with the Behavioral Health Ombudsman Office of Colorado if you have a parity concern.
