The health of our members and the safety of those who deliver care are our top priorities. Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP) is taking action and providing resources to support our members and providers during this challenging time.
We are continuing to monitor policy changes on an ongoing basis, including updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services (CMS), federal and state governments, and local organizations. We may have to adjust our business practices, processes, and policies accordingly. Any changes or updates will be posted on our provider resource pages as quickly as possible.

COVID-19 vaccines are an important step in slowing the spread of the disease. We are committed to helping you stay informed on COVID-19 vaccines and encourage you to discuss the vaccine with your health care provider..
