This presentation by CHI, and accompanying materials, focuses on long term services and supports for elders in the Medicaid program and initiatives in Colorado to address this growing—and expensive—population.
The Colorado House on Monday (March 12) approved continuing an innovative health care pilot program in Pueblo County for five years, extending it until July 2017. Health Access Pueblo is a community-based non-profit that seeks to provide affordable health care for adults who are employed but uninsured.
Jeff Bontrager and Westley Mori presented on the 2011 Colorado Health Access Survey (CHAS) and what it tells us about vulnerable Coloradans as part of the AHEC Conversation Series at the University of Colorado - Anschutz Medical Campus.
As our legislature progresses through its season, I hear so many conversations that begin, “In this legislative climate, it’s almost impossible to . . . ”
A sense of purpose can go a long way in choosing where one works. It did for me.

In this weekly legislative update, we’re focusing on SB 12-127, a bill that addresses a complex but important subject - Coloradans who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare coverage (“dual eligibles”) - and how to best provide medical care for them within new health delivery systems in our state.
This presentation provides information on two new delivery models that are trying to tackle the problem of ever-increasing health care expenses - Accountable Care Organizations and the Accountable Care Collaborative and how they aim to contain costs.
This fact sheet gives a broad overview of medical homes, including what they are, how they work and whether or not they save money. The fact sheet also provides an snapshot of what’s happening in Colorado surrounding medical homes.
In the midst of frustrations regarding rapidly increasing insurance premiums, welcome news came out of Massachusetts last week. Base insurance rates for small businesses in Massachusetts will increase by an average of only 1.8 percent this year.
Many of us remember the heated debate during the development of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) surrounding the “public option,” which would have created a publicly administered alternative to private health insurance coverage.
