Policy Changes & PEAK Enhancements Coming on March 22

“On Sunday, March 22, 2015, the state will update several Medicaid rules, and will also enhance portions of the Program Eligibility and Application Kit (PEAK) through a major update to the Colorado Benefits Management System (CBMS). Please read this summary of upcoming changes. Medical Assistance updates (i.e. Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus) begin on page three.

The PEAK Outreach Team will provide online training for community-based organizations on two dates. The training is recommended for all community-based organizations, even if you are not currently using PEAK.
