A Word from our Classic Sponsor: Colorado Access

With over 400,000 members, Colorado Access has been emerging as Colorado’s leading public health insurance plan since 1994. As a nonprofit health plan, the company has been serving Coloradans who have healthcare coverage under Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), Medicaid Behavioral and Physical Health programs, or Medicare Advantage. Colorado Access was founded by Children’s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Community Managed Care Network, and University of Colorado Hospital/University Physicians, Inc. It currently operates the following four (4) lines of business:

• CHP+ offered by Colorado Access is a health plan option for children eligible for CHP+. With CHP+ offered by Colorado Access, children can have access to 6,700 providers and get benefits like, preventive care (well-child exams and immunizations), inpatient care, vision services and more. Colorado Access is a Certified Application Assistance and Presumptive Eligibility Site. They help people apply for Medicaid and CHP+.
• Access Advantage is a health plan option for people who have Medicare Parts A & B and for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. The Access Advantage plans include:
• Summit Plan - a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (SNP). It is for people who are enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare Parts A & B.
• Peak Plan - a low-premium Medicare Advantage HMO that includes a Prescription Drug Plan.
• Access Behavioral Care is the Behavioral Health Organization serving Denver County. The plan ensures that Medicaid members in Denver County have access to behavioral health services.
• Three Regional Care Collaborative Organizations (RCCOs) are operated under Colorado Access. The RCCOs serve the Northeast area (Region 2), East Metro area (Region 3), and Denver area (Region 5) of Colorado. Each RCCO provides Medicaid members access to a Primary Care Medical Provider (PCMP) or Medical Home as well as care management services.

CHP+ State Managed Care Network is also administered by Colorado Access. As administrator, Colorado Access provides claim payment services, provider service and contract administration, and utilization management for members of the statewide CHP+ State Managed Care Network and CHP+ Prenatal Care Program.

Colorado Access has been leading the way in transforming and improving healthcare for Coloradans. The company has several programs to ensure its members receive the best care possible. Some examples include: the care management program, WeCare resource webpage, Member and Family Advisory Board meetings, focus groups, Prevention Perks, and much more.

The care managers believe the best way to deliver care is by creating a partnership with members. The care management program is made up of all health care professionals who can indentify members’ needs, provide support, and create unique and specific treatment plans for them.

When members or the general public have questions about the plan, each customer service representative is fully prepared to answer their questions. From connecting members to the right providers to helping them understand their plan, they know how to get the job done. They go through vigorous trainings to fully understand the company and its members.

Colorado Access is continuously working towards improving the health of Medicaid, CHP+, and Medicare recipients in Colorado. For more information about Colorado Access, please visit www.coaccess.com or call 1-800-511-5010.
