Change is Coming to Change Management in Colorado
Case management in Colorado is changing! We have two more years and a lot of work ahead, but we are excited about all that we will be able to offer to members and case managers in the coming years! Check out our website to see the timeline, get background and see what’s next!
How will Case Management Redesign (CMRD) benefit members?
Currently, Single Entry Points (SEPs) provide case management services for individuals with these waivers:
- Brain Injury
- Community Mental Health Supports
- Elderly, Blind and Disabled
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Children’s Home and Community Services
- Children with Life Limiting Illness
The Community Centered Boards (CCBs) provide case management services to members who have intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) with these waivers:
- Developmental Disabilities
- Supported Living Services
- Children’s Extensive Support
- Children’s Habilitation Residential Program
Private Case Management agencies provide case management services to Children’s Home and Community-Based Services waiver members.
Individuals seeking or receiving long-term services and supports often qualify for multiple programs and end up navigating systems that are siloed by the program. Case Management Redesign will create a simplified system where there is one place to go in each catchment area for case management for all waivers. Case Management Redesign will create consistency in the quality, accountability and stability of the case management services people receive across the state. It will allow the Department to provide oversight and support to ensure high performing case management system statewide.
