NRT Behavioral Health Expands Access to Medicaid Plans
NRT Behavioral Health, known for its treatment programs, is excited to announce that it will now accept Colorado Access and Colorado Community Health Alliance health plans. This significant step means that clients can utilize any Colorado Medicaid plan through NRT's services. Their mission to provide tailored and evidence-based care is more achievable than ever.
Understanding Colorado's Medicaid System
Colorado's Medicaid program is structured into four regions, overseen by Regional Accountable Entities (RAE) to ensure effective management. Colorado Access operates in various counties, including Adams and Denver, while Colorado Community Health Alliance manages plans for several others, such as Boulder and Clear Creek. Collectively, these organizations serve nearly 70 percent of the state's population, highlighting the critical role Medicaid plays in residents' healthcare.
The Importance of Accessible Treatment
The need for reliable access to Medicaid is pressing, particularly as reported by the state’s Department of Health Care Policy & Financing, which indicated that over 1.2 million residents are enrolled in Health First Colorado plans. As NRT Behavioral Health recognizes, the challenge of high substance use and mental health disorder rates persists, even with substantial access to treatment. Their commitment to delivering affordable care is vital in overcoming these barriers.
Testimonials and Future Goals
NRT's CEO, Keenan van de Boogaard, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative, emphasizing the company's goal to broaden recovery pathways within Colorado's most populous communities. By accepting a wider range of Medicaid plans and collaborating with various commercial insurances, NRT Behavioral Health takes a crucial step toward integrating comprehensive care for the state’s residents.
Diverse Program Offerings
NRT Behavioral Health operates a range of residential and outpatient programs across Colorado and Wyoming. The Foundry Front Range offers a 73-bed detoxification and residential treatment center in Broomfield that tailors its services to adults. Additionally, Foundry Treatment Center in Steamboat Springs specializes in gender-specific care for men and provides intensive outpatient options, ensuring a holistic approach to treatment.
Innovative Telehealth Services
