HCPF Updates

“Help Improve the HCPF Website:  The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing website will be changing for the better – and we need your help. Please take our brief website survey and give us your feedback by Friday, February 28.

Colorado.gov/HCPF/shareyourstory: The Department needs personal stories about how Medicaid or Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) has made a positive impact on you, a client or patient. Client stories can help the Department educate other Coloradans about the benefits of health insurance coverage. For more information or if you know of a client that may be willing to share their personal story with us visit Colorado.gov/hcpf/ShareYourStory.

Decommissioning of Old Peak Website on March 16:  The www.peak.state.co.us site with the mountain banner will be decommissioned on March 16, 2014.  This is the old PEAK site that was replaced by the Salesforce site.  Once the site is decommissioned, there will no longer be a redirect to the correct website (http://coloradopeak.force.com), and you will receive an error.  A message regarding the decommissioning of the site will display in English and Spanish when you access the www.peak.state.co.us site and redirect you in 30 seconds to the http://coloradopeak.force.com until March 16, 2014.
