HCBS/CFC/MFP Provider Enrollment Information

Required Training for New and Revalidation Applications

Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) / Community First Choice (CFC) / Money Follows the Person (MFP) Provider Training for New and Revalidation Applications

All providers submitting new and Revalidation HCBS/CFC/MFP enrollment applications must:

  1. Visit the CO Train website to create a new account, or access an existing account, in the Train Learning Management System
  2. Search “HCBS/CFC/MFP Provider Training Course”
  3. Complete the HCBS/CFC/MFP Provider Training Course
  4. Pass the quiz at the end of the training with at least an 80% passing rate
  5. Attach the certificate to your new or revalidation application. New and revalidation applications missing the certificate may be returned or denied.

Providers can visit the CO Train website to view tutorials on: “How to Complete your TRAIN Profile”, “How to Manage Your Learning in TRAIN”, and “How to Use the TRAIN Search Function”.

Enrolling Multiple Service Locations

Each service location must be enrolled separately by submitting a separate application and paying an additional application fee (if applicable).

If services are provided in a Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program) member's residence or other non-provider owned setting, providers will need to use their main office location as the service address.

Enrolling with Multiple Specialties or Services

Providers should submit one application for the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) provider type that includes all specialties or services they provide. Providers do not need to submit a separate application for each type of waiver (BI/CES/DD/EBD/SLS, etc.)

Providers should only submit additional applications if they have additional service locations or if they are applying for an additional provider type outside of HCBS.

CDPHE Requirements

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is contracted by the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) to recommend certification and licensure for applicable HCBS providers.

Please review all requirements for each HCBS specialty to determine if certification or licensure is required for your organization.

Revalidation

The federal regulation at 42 CFR § 455.414 requires that state Medicaid agencies revalidate the enrollment of all providers, regardless of provider types and/or specialties, at least every 5 years.

When revalidating businesses (EIN enrollment) that have more than one service location, a separate revalidation for each different location is required. If a fee is required, it applies to each service location. Please review the specialty information below to determine if the fee is required.

Individuals (SSN enrollment) complete only one revalidation.

Note: New specialties are not available to be added during a revalidation. If applicable they can be added via a maintenance request once revalidation is finalized and approved.

Review the Revalidation Quick Guide before beginning a revalidation through the Provider Portal.  View HCBS Provider Specialty Codes.

After reviewing the training materials, log into the Provider Web Portal to begin revalidation.
