Concurrent Care Announcements
The Colorado Department of Healthcare and Policy Financing maintains a website on Children with Life-Limiting Illnesses updates, including the State’s approved 2025 Application for a §1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services Waiver and it’s 2024 Children with Life-Limiting Illness brochure on concurrent care.
Effective April 13 2012, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing issued a State Plan Amendment (SPA) (Transmittal No. 12-001).
In June 2012, the state of Colorado published through a revised version of the Colorado Medicaid Benefit Coverage Standard title, which included a provision to provide continued curative treatment for individuals seeking hospice care who are age 20 and younger. This is cited three separate times in the document, first under the section addressing eligible clients, again under the section regarding general requirements, and finally in section 4.2.4 addressing the election of hospice. Each statement simply outlines that clients under 20 are exempt from waiving curative services. This document can be found at 2012_Colorado.
