For the first time in more than three years, Coloradans who are no longer eligible for Health First Colorado (the state’s Medicaid program) or Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) have started to lose their coverage. As people begin to lose Medicaid, we’re ramping up our joint efforts with State partners, community partners, and our enrollment network to keep Coloradans covered. Read more in a press release we issued this week.

As a reminder, people who lose Medicaid or CHP+ coverage will have a Special Enrollment Period through July 31, 2024 to sign up for other health coverage. Health coverage options for those losing Medicaid could include health insurance through a job, getting coverage through another family member’s plan, or buying a plan using our Marketplace.

Juneteenth

Help us celebrate at Denver’s Juneteenth Festival, Saturday and Sunday, June 17-18.  We’re hosting a block party on 25th and Welton Streets. Other organizations are joining us on the block with resources available to Coloradans. Denver’s very own DJ Squizzy will join us and you can get your exercise by participating in our family work out sessions with Thal Woods. We hope to see you there.

Take care,
