Rocky Mountain Health Plans (Rocky Mountain), a United Healthcare company, is a healthcare payer based in Colorado and a participant in the Accountable Health Communities (AHC) Model. Rocky Mountain partners with almost 70 clinical sites (including emergency departments, primary care providers, and local public health departments) in rural western Colorado to screen Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries for health-related social needs (HRSNs) and provide beneficiaries with community resource referral and navigation to address their needs. This spotlight describes Rocky Mountain’s multifaceted approach to engage clinical partners in a collective vision for addressing HRSNs regionally.
