If you have not done so already ClinicNET encourages you to apply for the Essential Community Provider (ECP) designation through the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF). This designation will be relative to Colorado Health Benefit Exchange (COHBE). In order to be designated as an Essential Community Provider (ECP), a provider must demonstrate that it meets the requirements of Section 25.5-5-403 C.R.S. (2006). These regulations require that the ECP:
- Has historically served medically needy or medically indigent patients and demonstrates a commitment to serve low-income and medically indigent populations who make up a significant portion of its patient population or, in the case of a sole community provider, serves the medically indigent patients within its medical capability; and
- Waives charges or charges for services on a sliding scale based on income and does not restrict access or services because of a client's financial limitations.
ClinicNET encourages you to apply for ECP designation sooner than later. You can find the application online. E-mail your completed application as a PDF to Teresa.craig@state.co.us or fax it attn: Teresa Craig at 303-866-2573 or mail to:
