Waiver programs provide additional Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) benefits to specific populations who meet special eligibility criteria.
Level of care determinations are made annually by Case Management Agencies contracted by the Department to provide case management for eligible and enrolled Health First Colorado Members. Eligible Members must meet financial, medical and program criteria to access services under a waiver. The applicant must be at risk of transition to a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), hospital or Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability (ICF/IID). In order to access waiver benefits, Members must be willing to receive services in their homes or communities. A Member who receives services through a waiver is also eligible for all basic Health First Colorado-covered services except nursing facility and long-term hospital care. When a Member chooses to receive services under a waiver, the services must be provided by certified Health First Colorado Providers or by a Health First Colorado contracting Managed Care Organization (MCO).
Applicants may apply for more than one waiver but may only receive services through one waiver at a time.
Effective June 30, 2024, the service “Case Management” was deactivated and removed from the waiver. From July 1, 2024, forward, eligible and enrolled CHCBS Members will receive the Targeted Case Management benefit as provided by one of the Department’s contracted Case Management Agencies.
Case Management Agency Responsibilities
Contracted Case Management Agencies are delegated administrative authority over HCBS waivers.
Contracted Case Management Agencies responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Informing Members and/or legal guardians of the eligibility process.
- Submitting required enrollment information to the County Department of Human/Social Services for a Health First Colorado Member identification number.
- Developing the appropriate Prior Approval and/or Cost Containment Record Form of services and projected costs for approval.
- Submitting a copy of the Prior Authorization and/or Cost Containment document to the authorizing agent. Refer to Appendix D located on the Billing Manuals web page under the Appendices drop-down for a list of authorizing agents.
- Assessing the Member's health and social needs.
- Arranging for face-to-face contact with the Member.
- Monitoring and evaluating services.
- Reassessing each Member annually or upon a change in condition.
Claim Submission
Submission of claims for services rendered must not be duplicative. Provider Agencies cannot be reimbursed for delivering the same service to the same Member on the same day at the same time; whether such services are billed on the same claim, or on multiple/different claims. Additionally, Provider Agencies are barred from billing services that share or have overlapping service definitions, but are described by different procedure codes, on the same day, to the same Member. Collectively referred to as duplicate claims, reimbursement for such claims requires clear documentation of the necessity of the service, and that there was not duplicative service delivery.
Refer to the service definitions on the Colorado Code of Regulations website to identify if claims are duplicative. Refer to the provider specialty code enrollment requirements on the HCBS Provider Specialty Code List web page to identify services that must be provided by an individual provider. Provider Agencies may only bill for services approved in the Members’ service plans.
In any instance in which duplicate billings result in Medicaid reimbursement, a recovery shall be made by the Department against the Provider Agency.
Refer to the General Provider Information Manual located on the Billing Manuals web page under the General Provider Information drop-down for general billing information, including claim submission information.
Prior Authorization Requests (PARs)
Unless otherwise noted, all HCBS services require prior approval before they can be reimbursed by Health First Colorado. Contracted Case Management Agencies complete the Prior Approval and/or Cost Containment requests for their specific programs according to instructions published in the regulations for the Department.
Providers may contact the Contracted Case Management Agency for the status of the PAR or inquire electronically through the Health First Colorado Provider Web Portal.
Approval of prior authorization does not guarantee Health First Colorado payment and does not serve as a timely filing waiver. Prior authorization only assures that the approved service is a medical necessity and is considered a benefit of Health First Colorado. All claims, including those for prior authorized services, must meet eligibility and claim submission requirements (e.g., timely filing, provider information completed appropriately, required attachments included, etc.) before payment can be made. Provider Agencies are reminded to check Member eligibility prior to rendering services.
Prior approvals must be completed thoroughly and accurately. If an error is noted on an approved request, it should be brought to the attention of the Member's Case Manager for corrections. Procedure codes, quantities, etc., may be changed or entered by the Member's Case Manager.
The authorizing agent or Contracted Case Management Agency is responsible for timely submission and distribution of copies of approvals to Provider Agencies and providers contracted to provide services.
PAR Submission
The following PAR (CHCBS and CLLI) forms are filed via the "Bridge" by Case Managers employed by Contracted Case Management Agencies. The Bridge directly interfaces with the Colorado interChange. The Bridge is accessed by Case Management Agencies via the Medicaid Enterprise User Provisioning System (MEUPS). Provider Agencies are not authorized to access the Bridge but may view PARs in the Provider Portal.

Members that meet program eligibility requirements receive an annual long-term care certification by their Contracted Case Management Agency Case Manager.
