Thank you for your interest!
Updated Applications and Calculator
The updated versions of the Uniform Application (Version 1.4), CICP Clinic Application (Version 9.1) and Federal Poverty Guideline (FPG) Calculator (Version 2) are now available on the CICP Program Information website. Providers must begin using these versions on April 1. The updated Federal Poverty Guidelines April 2023 - March 2024 has also been posted.
County Delays in Processing Health First Colorado/CHP+ Applications
Providers have made HCPF aware during Hospital Discounted Care Office Hours that they are having issues with counties taking longer than usual to complete patient applications for Health First Colorado. If there are patients who are waiting longer than usual for their application to be completed within the county, please fill out a County and Eligibility Site Member Complaint and Escalation Form to ensure their application is escalated. One application can be filled out for multiple patients if needed. This creates a trackable ticket that HCPF will be able to monitor and work with the county to resolve if needed.
#KeepCOCovered
The next #KeepCOCovered quarterly Community Partner Webinar will be April 26, 1 to 2:30 p.m. You can register for that session and the upcoming sessions on HCPF's Keep Coloradans Covered webpage.
