We verify first
Give us your Health First Colorado member ID and we'll confirm your RMHP assignment and exactly what your child's coverage includes before you commit to anything.
We submit the authorization
We know what RMHP needs, how they want it formatted, and who to follow up with. You don't track any of it.
We handle everything after
Reauthorizations, appeals, follow-up. If RMHP denies something, we explain the real reason and appeal with documentation that addresses what they actually need.
The strongest case for in-home therapy anywhere in Colorado.
The RMHP region covers more geographic area than any other RAE in Colorado. Families in Grand Junction, Durango, Steamboat Springs, or the San Luis Valley are often an hour or more from the nearest clinic-based ABA provider. Waiting lists in rural western Colorado are among the longest in the state.
In-home ABA is the practical answer for most families here. Blossom ABA comes to your home, which means therapy happens where your child lives, without adding a long drive to an already demanding schedule. For families in smaller communities across the Western Slope, this is often the difference between accessing therapy and not accessing it at all.
Your child's formal ASD diagnosis, the comprehensive BCBA assessment, and the individualized treatment plan. RMHP reviews against medical necessity criteria and issues an authorization. You prepare nothing.
RMHP provider authorization runs through the Optum Provider Express portal. Member services is available at 1-800-475-2743. Blossom ABA manages all contact directly.
7 to 14 business days from a complete submission. We submit complete packages the first time and follow up proactively throughout.
We track your child's authorization end date and initiate renewal before it expires. No gap in services.
How do I know if RMHP is my RAE?
I have Rocky Mountain HMO. Is that the same as the RMHP Medicaid RAE?
Pueblo seems far from the rest of the RMHP region. Is that right?
How long does RMHP authorization take?
What if my family is in a rural area with limited provider options?
Still have questions?
