Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC) Phase III New Resources
We have been hard at work updating resources for the transition to ACC Phase III. Using the new menu on the left side of your screen (or top of your mobile device), check out the Provider and Stakeholder Resource Center and Member Messaging Center for new materials to support providers, members, advocates and other community partners in this transition. We are continuing to post materials, so check back frequently.

About ACC Phase III
The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) administers Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program), Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) and other health care programs for Coloradans who qualify. Created in 2011, the ACC is the primary delivery system for Health First Colorado. Regional Accountable Entities (RAEs) are responsible for promoting member health and well-being by administering the capitated behavioral health benefit, establishing and supporting networks of providers and coordinating medical and community-based services for members in their region. Current contracts with the RAEs, referred to as Phase II, end on June 30, 2025. New contracts, ACC Phase III, will launch July 1, 2025.

ACC Phase III has been designed to achieve the following goals:   

  • Improve quality care for members
  • Close health disparities and promote health equity for members
  • Improve care access for members
  • Improve the member and provider service experience
  • Manage costs to protect member coverage, benefits, and provider reimbursements

Meet the ACC Phase III RAEs

In September 2024, HCPF announced the awards for the four RAE contracts. HCPF is pleased to announce that, beginning July 1, 2025, the following entities have been awarded contracts. For information about the current RAEs, please visit the ACC Phase II webpage.
