"Earlier this year, Governor Hickenlooper announced that Colorado will expand Medicaid for adults up to 133% of the federal poverty level as part of the Affordable Care Act. Colorado will also be running its own state health insurance exchange, where eligible individuals and families will be able to shop for subsidized health insurance coverage. In preparation for this expansion, the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has been working with stakeholders, the Center for Health Care Strategies, SHADAC, and other states to understand the needs and characteristics of this newly eligible population.
We would like to ask you to save the date for March 18 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm for a stakeholder meeting to discuss “churn” – the movement of individuals between Medicaid and the exchange. Understanding this movement is a critical element as we work to promote seamless coverage for clients whose program eligibility changes..."Please contact Sonja Madera, MS, Medicaid Program Development Specialist at the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing if you are interested in attending this meeting.
