Improvements in the application evaluation process have required more time than initially anticipated. The Department conducted an internal review of the Primary Care Fund Program in FY 2015-16. Following findings and recommendations from that review, improved and additional steps are now taken by staff during the evaluation process to ensure that each application is reviewed thoroughly and uniformly. Furthermore, the Department has contracted with a professional outside entity to validate FY 2015-16 data submissions from selected Primary Care Fund Grant recipients. This has been informative for both the Department and participating clinics. The Department is diligently evaluating the FY 2016-17 applications based on what we have learned through the data validation and appeals process for the previous year's applications. Our highest priority is to ensure that the FY 2016-17 awards will be made to qualifying clinics and calculated using accurate unduplicated, uninsured patient counts.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and partnership. Please direct any questions to primary.care@hcpf.state.co.us"
