I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. I'd like to thank all those who attended public hearings related to the waiver component of the Hospital Transformation Program (HTP). We encourage stakeholders who were unable to attend public hearings to submit written feedback to the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (the Department). Additional instructions on how to submit comments can be found in this newsletter. As a reminder, we will need to receive feedback by
Sunday, December 15, 2019 by 5 p.m. MST. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with questions.

Update on 1115 waiver component of HTP
|
The Department will continue to
accept comments and inquiries about the waiver component of HTP until Sunday, December 15, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. MST. Comments may be sent to
COHTP@state.co.us
or submitted via the United States Postal Service using the following address:
Special Financing Division Director
ATTN: Public Comment - HTP DSRIP
Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing
1570 Grant Street
Denver, Colorado 80203
The next step in the waiver application process is to review public comments and feedback. Based on feedback, the Department will create a report of the issues raised by the public during the comment period and how those comments were considered when developing the program application. The Department will then submit the report along with the application to the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on December 31, 2019. Please reach out to Courtney Ronner, Hospital Relations & Communications Manager, with questions about the application process.
