Thank you for serving Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) members.
The Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (the Department) knows providers, case managers and county and eligibility partners have many questions about the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and its impact on our programs. We are sharing updates on emergency policies, COVID-19 specific billing codes and other important information on our website at colorado.gov/hcpf/covid and through this and other newsletters.
