PacifiCare of Colorado Founded as a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) in the 1970s, PacifiCare has now turned into one of the largest health plans in Colorado. The company caters to the needs of more than 328,000 members in a 33 county area, offering a wide range of health plan options. It boasts a contracted network of 1,100 primary care physicians, 2,400 specialist, and 27 hospitals, including 16 full service hospitals in the Denver-metro area. These resources enable the company to provide each member with the medical services to meet their health care needs. In February, 1997 PacifiCare Health Systems acquired FHP International but the contracted physicians, hospitals, pharmacies and other providers stayed in the network. Its parent organization, PacifiCare Health Systems today is one

network for individuals and group members. PacifiCare’s health
plans have nearly 4 million members and more than 9 million customers
take part in specialty plan coverage. This United HealthCare company’s
