Stakeholder Learning Opportunity!

Learn More About the Proposed Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) 1115 Waiver Amendment

The Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) is pursuing a Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) 1115 demonstration waiver amendment earlier than anticipated, pending the passage of House Bill 24-1322 “Medicaid Coverage Housing & Nutrition Services”. If approved, the HRSN 1115 waiver amendment will expand health-related social needs (HRSN) housing and nutrition services and supports for certain eligible Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) members. This is in addition to the 1115 waiver amendment submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on April 1, 2024, expanding access for coverage and inpatient mental health services.

Email hcpf_1115waiver@state.co.us for more information.

HCPF has so far hosted two of three stakeholder meetings for attendees to learn more about the proposed HRSN 1115 waiver amendment, ask questions and offer feedback on the proposed service set and population, and learn about timelines and ways to be involved. The upcoming meeting covers the same content as the two prior meetings.
