Community First Choice (CFC) Stakeholder Engagement Survey -
Deadline Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2023
The Department is conducting a stakeholder survey to better understand how we can continue to improve upcoming CFC stakeholder opportunities. Our goal is to ensure a successful launch of CFC in Colorado.
What is CFC?
Community First Choice (CFC), also known as 1915(k), allows Colorado to offer Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program) attendant care services on a statewide basis to eligible members. Through CFC, members would have the option to direct their attendant care services or receive services through an agency.
Attendant care services are those that assist in accomplishing:
- Activities of daily living such as eating, dressing and bathing
- Instrumental activities of daily living such as shopping and keeping doctor appointments
- Health-related tasks such as medication monitoring
Promoting self-direction is a significant program goal and is detailed in federal regulations. To encourage states to adopt CFC, Congress has authorized a higher federal match on CFC-related Health First Colorado expenditures. Under CFC, Colorado would pay approximately 44% of program costs instead of the 50% it currently pays on most services.
About the Survey
The Department is seeking feedback through this Stakeholder Engagement Survey from Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver members and other CFC Stakeholders on how we can improve CFC stakeholder engagement. It is important we hear from as many stakeholders as possible for an accurate assessment of individual experiences and values. We want to reach all possible stakeholders, including those who aren’t necessarily familiar with CFC or have not yet engaged in previous engagement opportunities. The deadline to take this survey is Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2023.
Please Help us Share Information about this Survey

We are also asking our partnering and collaborating community organizations to share or forward this survey to one or more people in their community or network, such as:
- Individuals who receive services from their organization
- Individuals who receive their communications

The Department will also be glad to give a short presentation on CFC during any of our partnering and collaborating organizations’ upcoming meetings.
