Colorado System of Care (CO-SOC)

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) is working toward expanding and improving implementation of the Colorado System of Care (Intensive Behavioral Health Services) that include intensive in-home and community-based mental health services, intensive care coordination, mobile crisis intervention, and stabilization services. This will support Colorado Medicaid beneficiaries under the age of 2 for whom these services are medically necessary. The improved services will be culturally relevant, family-centered, and child-driven so that these services are provided in the most integrated and least restrictive setting.
