Benefits Utilization System (BUS)
The Benefits Utilization System (BUS) is the electronic case management system of record used by Single Entry Point agencies, Community Centered Boards, and Private Case Management Agencies to document member contact and other information necessary to ensure people can live everyday lives in the community. The BUS is where the majority of members' service plans and other assessment information is stored. Access is limited to staff of qualified case management agencies enrolled into Health First Colorado.
The BUS is maintained by the Governor's Office of Information Technology and is not connected to any other Information Technology systems.
