Health First Colorado
Medicaid in Colorado is known as Health First Colorado. This program provides free or low-cost health insurance for Coloradans who qualify. Children, pregnant women, persons with disabilities and low income families or adults and the elderly can all potentially qualify for this public health insurance.
Starting January 1, 2025, a new law called “Cover All Coloradans” helps children and pregnant people get health coverage, no matter what their immigration status is.
Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+)
CHP+ is a low-cost public health insurance for Colorado’s uninsured children and pregnant women who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but cannot afford private health insurance.
The Health First Colorado Buy-In Program for Children with Disabilities
The Medicaid Buy-In Program for Children with Disabilities is a medical assistance program that provides Medicaid benefits for children who are under age 19, have a qualifying disability and whose family income meets state guidelines.
