RMHP's Impact onColorado Communities
At Rocky Mountain Health Plans, a UnitedHealthcare company, we’re committed to bettering the health outcomes and livelihoods of all Coloradans.
Health equity is both a passion and a priority, and we work daily to close the gaps of disparity that exist for so many underserved populations across the state. We do this by forging partnerships with county and state leaders, by working with providers and organizations in our local communities, and by elevating our members’ voices to identify and deliver the resources they need and deserve. We commit millions of dollars through one-time and recurring investments and value-based payment models —all in support of our partners, colleagues, and neighbors.

One investment
Countless impacts
Between November 2022 and October 2023, RMHP invested over $12 million of Regional Accountable Entity (RAE) funds in the health neighborhood.
This one-time funding supports community-based projects and programs that improve the health and life outcomes of Medicaid Members and promote the health of local communities and populations.
One-time investments were used to address social determinants of health (SDoH), increase organizational capacity, facilitate transitions of care, and support Members and enrollment organizations with the public health emergency sunset.
recurring investmentsfor continued community care
In addition to our 2023 one-time community funding initiatives, we also made $9.5 million in recurring investments. Recurring investments for continued community care supported primary care medical providers (PCMP), integrated community care team, and community-based organization initiatives.
$2.9 MILLION to support PCMPs in efforts to sustain integrated behavioral health and SDoH program staff, such as dieticians, clinical pharmacists, and doulas.
$3.9 MILLION in community-based care coordination teams.
$2.7 MILLION in community-based organizations, including a health information exchange, housing, food programs, and programs to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
transformative paymentsfor value-based care
We design, implement, and maintain value-based payment agreements to increase funding for providers who serve RAE Members with the highest needs or barriers and to sustain specific high-value services.
$450 THOUSAND for enhanced payments to primary care for Members who are Hispanic, have a non-white racial identity, or speak a non- English primary language.
$1.3 MILLION in prospective enhanced primary care payments for those practices with the highest demonstrated capabilities.
$3.9 MILLION in community reinvestment for savings achieved through the RMHP PRIME programs.
$4.3 MILLION in capacity building to behavioral health providers to provide services integrated into community settings.
$1.6 MILLION in enhanced behavioral health reimbursement for bilingual and safe-space providers, providers who serve a high proportion of Members of color or have identified SDoH needs, and providers who are in rural, frontier, and underserved communities.
