PEAKmobile launched: Clients and applicants can now access PEAKmobile, the mobile version of the PEAK website, from a smart phone or other mobile device with a small screen. Anyone who visits the PEAK website from a mobile device will automatically be viewing the PEAKmobile website. PEAKmobile is equipped with essential tools clients need to effectively manage their benefits. Some functions will work best using the full PEAK website.

For new clients: Selecting a Medicaid health plan and provider online: New Medicaid clients can now go online to select their Medicaid health plan and primary care medical provider through HealthColorado. HealthColorado’s new online form can only be used by first-time Medicaid clients who are not enrolled in a Medicaid health plan yet. This online form can also be used by first-time Medicaid clients who are enrolled in the Accountable Care Collaborative and want to choose their primary care medical provider. All requests made by the 28th of the month will take affect the first of the following month. For more information please see the May 2014 issue of At A Glance.

Important reminder for Clients: If you qualify for Colorado Medicaid or for financial assistance to help purchase private health insurance through Connect for Health Colorado, it is very important you keep your information up to date. Any time you have a change in your income, family size or contact information you should update it immediately. Changes to your information could impact what programs you or your family qualify to receive. Find out how to update your information.” [Source: HCPF]
