Hospital application available
|
 At the end of last week, a draft of the HTP hospital application was posted to the HTP website. The draft application is based on current HTP design, which remains under development. The final application will be updated to reflect any changes to the program design based on collaboration with key stakeholders, members of the Colorado Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability Enterprise (CHASE) Board and negotiations with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Consumer Advisory Council
|
As reported in a
September 16, 2019
communication
to hospitals and stakeholders, the Department is in the process of creating a
Consumer Advisory Committee with representation from across the state. An update about efforts and discussions can be found on an
informational memo
on the HTP website.
The first meeting will take place on September 27 in Denver.
Since that communication,
a Consumer Advisory Council page
has been created on the Department website
. While the council meetings will be open to the public, as all HCPF meetings are, we are not intending to invite a broad group of stakeholders outside of invited council members representing consumers. Meeting agendas, summaries, and other information will be posted on the
HTP Consumer Advisory Council's webpage
for those who would like to keep informed about this forum. In addition, we will continue to provide regular updates in our biweekly HTP newsletter.
As we approach submission of the HTP to our federal oversight partner, CMS, we will be hosting public forums where we will invite all stakeholders. Stay tuned to the HTP newsletter for information about those public forums.
