Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP), part of the UnitedHealthcare family, has pledged its commitment to uplift these communities through substantial investments in organizations addressing the distinct needs of our communities.

Ross took over the position eight years ago. While he was president, Pinnacol lowered rates more than 50 percent between 2006 and 2010.

Last year, efforts to take Pinnacol private ruffled feathers among business leaders.

Pinnacol Board Vice Chairman John Plotkin will lead the company until a new CEO can be found. The search for Ross’s replacement will begin immediately.
