What is Health First Colorado (Medicaid)?
Health First Colorado is the name for the state’s Medicaid program. It provides free or low-cost health insurance to qualified families. Eligibility is determined based on income and resources. County Departments of Human Services determine eligibility. Medicaid is automatic for people who have Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or participate in the Colorado Works Program (TANF).
What is CHP+?
CHP+ is a low-cost health insurance for children of families that earn income too high for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance. Some families may still need to pay a small fee each year and minimal co-payment for each doctor visit or prescription medicine.
If you and your kids are eligible for the Medicaid, some of benefits are:
- Check-ups
- Hospital visits
- Prescriptions
- Dental services
- Vision care and much more.
