What Is a BHASO?
Get Behavioral Health Support in Region 1
Rocky Mountain Health Plans is the Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organization (BHASO) for Region 1 in Colorado. That means we help connect people with behavioral health services, including crisis support, mental health care, substance use treatment, and care coordination. These services are available to people who need them, no matter how serious their situation is or whether they can pay.
As the BHASO for Region 1, we work with providers and community partners to make sure children, teens, and adults can access the behavioral health care and support they need. Our goal is to help people find the right services at the right time, from prevention and ongoing treatment to crisis care and recovery support.
The BHASO regions are the same as Colorado Medicaid’s regional organizations (RAEs). If you live in Regions 2, 3, or 4 (shown on the map), your BHASO is Signal. You can contact Signal by calling 888-607-4462 or visiting signalbhn.org.
How to Get Connected to Care
We want to make it as easy as possible to get the behavioral health care you need.
If you are having a behavioral health emergency, please call or text 988 for the 988 Colorado Mental Health Line. You can also live chat at 988Colorado.com.
BHASO Regional Advisory Council
The BHASO Regional Advisory Council is composed of 9 appointed members, but it is open to the public and will include a dedicated public comment period. To learn more about the BHASO Regional Councils, visit Colorado’s Behavioral Health Administration.
Substance Use Services
If you or someone you care about is struggling with alcohol or drug use, help is available. RMHP connects adolescents and adults in Region 1 with substance use treatment and recovery services, no matter where they are in their recovery journey.
Our care coordination team can help you find the right care, answer questions, and connect you with available resources. They can also help address barriers that may make it harder to get treatment. Care coordination is available at no cost, regardless of whether you have health insurance.
We help connect individuals who are seeking care to providers in our provider network. We work with these providers to fund services for individuals who are uninsured or underinsured and for any services not covered by Medicaid or other insurance.
Services include:
- Residential treatment
- Withdrawal management
- Outpatient treatment
- Medication-assisted treatment
- Peer services
- Recovery support services
- Recovery living communities.
You can view our list here of all recovery living communities (also known as sober living homes) that work with RMHP.
If you or a loved one needs help in finding substance use care, please contact bhaso.carecoordination@uhc.com.
How to File A Complaint
Our goal is that providers in our network offer quality, timely, and affordable care. We want to hear from you about your experience.
If you have a complaint or a concern about the quality of your care, please email bhaso.quality@uhc.com. Be sure to include your name, the best way to contact you, and a summary of your concern. We will contact you within one business day of receiving your complaint or concern.
Funding Opportunities
On occasion, state-funded grants may be available to support organizations working to expand access to substance use treatment and recovery services, particularly in underserved communities. New opportunities and award updates will be posted here as they become available.
