Denver Health Medicaid Choice (DHMP)

File a Complaint About Access to Behavioral Health Care

Your health plan is subject to the Mental Health Parity Addiction Equity Act of 2008. This means that your covered behavioral health benefits cannot be more difficult to access than physical health benefits. A denial, restriction, or withholding of behavioral health services could be a potential violation of the parity act. File a complaint with the Behavioral Health Ombudsman Office of Colorado if you have a parity concern.

Behavioral Health Ombudsman Office of Colorado
Call: 303-866-2789
Email: ombuds@bhoco.org
Online: bhoco.org

A representative of the Ombudsman Office will call or reply to you directly. You can also ask your behavioral health provider or guardian/legal representative to file a complaint for you.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Requests

Disability rights are civil rights. The ADA law helps protect you if you have a disability. We have an ADA coordinator to help. They can help you get the services you need.

Kellen Roth is our ADA coordinator. If you need help to make an ADA request, talk to Kellen. Email him at kellen.roth@coaccess.com. You can call him at 303-368-3243.
