The Department has uploaded new versions of the Client Applications, Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) Calculator and Ability to Pay Scale to the CICP Provider Information website. Please begin using these versions

Annual Training Dates

The Department is in the process of scheduling annual training for this year. Training will focus on what has changed for hospital providers due to Hospital Discounted Care and the elimination of lawful presence requirements for applicants. Training dates are tentatively scheduled for the last two weeks of May following the completion of the Hospital Discounted Care training sessions. A notice will be sent out via the CICP Training newsletter when registration opens for CICP training dates. If you have not signed up for that newsletter, you can do so here.

Rule Update

As part of the rule implementation for Hospital Discounted Care, the CICP rules are being updated to align as much as possible in order to minimize administrative burden. The rules were initially presented to the Medical Services Board on March 11, 2022.

The Public Rule Review Meeting is scheduled for April 18, and is currently being held as an email only meeting. Comments that providers wish to submit related to the CICP or Hospital Discounted Care rules can be emailed to hcpf_CICPCorrespondence@state.co.us or 
hcpf_HospDiscountCare@state.co.us with Public Rule Review Meeting or PRRM in the subject line or body of the email.

The presentation of the final rules will be made at the May Medical Services Board Meeting on May 13, starting at 9 a.m. The draft rules are posted on the Hospital Discounted Care webpage.
