HCPF New Consumer Resource: How to check your application status

“Coloradans are now able to check the status of their Medical Assistance Application (includes Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) by calling 1-800-359-1991 between 8:00am and 6:00pm Monday-Friday (closed state holidays).  Customer service representatives will be on hand to assist with identifying the status of a caller’s application, and if needed, obtain the information needed to process their application.  Applicants will need to provide their Application Tracking Number, found on the final screen of the online application when they call.

Federal law requires all applicants seeking financial assistance to help buy insurance through Connect for Health Colorado marketplace be screened for Medicaid first. Once it is determined a person does not qualify for Medicaid, the individual can then apply for financial assistance to buy insurance through the Connect for Health Colorado marketplace. In Colorado, the average processing time for a Medical Assistance application is 16 days.
