New Look to Medicaid Cards Coming in March

“Starting May 2016, Medicaid will be called “Health First Colorado.” Click here for more information on the name change. Beginning as early as March 20, 2016, cards printed from Colorado.gov/PEAK will have the Health First Colorado name and logo. In June 2016, all hard copy cards sent to newly enrolled members will reflect the Health First Colorado name and logo. Current cards are still valid; clients do not need to request new cards. As a reminder, clients are only required to show their photo ID at appointments. Health First Colorado cards are not required to receive services. Providers should verify a client’s identity and eligibility at each appointment.” [Source: HCPF]
