Medical Services Board

The Medical Services Board (MSB) was established by law effective July 1, 1994. It is the responsibility of the Medical Services Board to adopt the rules that govern the Department's programs. The Board has eleven members, with at least one member from each congressional district and no more than six members from the same political party. Members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate.

Medical Services Board meetings are scheduled for the second Friday of each month and are open to the public. The Board hears each proposed rule twice to allow time for the public to participate. For more information see our Stakeholder Engagement Protocols.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT FOR RULEMAKING - 1: Executive Order 05 - When a rule author requests to start working on a rule revision, individuals signed up to receive an email are sent information about the rule revision. 2: Rule Development - Rule author reaches out to stakeholders and/or partners and provides the opportunity for input on proposed rules. 3: Department of Regulatory Agencies - The Medical Services Board Coordinator uploads the draft rule to DORA. Individuals signed up to the DORA email list receive notification of the uploaded document. 4: Colorado Register - The Medical Services Board Coordinator uploads the notice of rule making to the Secretary of State's office to be published in the Colorado Register. 5: Public Rule Review Meeting - The Department hosts a public rule review meeting, which is an opportunity to have a 1-1 conversation with the rule author regarding the draft rule. 6: Initial MSB Meeting - First of two meetings to approve the rule, changes may be made. Stakeholders may sign up to provide comment. 7: Final MSB Meeting - Second of two meetings to approve the rule, some changes may be made. Stakeholders may sign up to provide comment.Stakeholder engagement opportunities in the rulemaking process visual diagram

If you are interested in being considered for service on the Medical Services Board, you can access the application on the Governor's Office of Boards and Commissions web page.

A member of the public may email the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies to request a cost-benefit analysis (CBA)from the agency proposing rule changes, which is made publicly available when it is completed.

The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies provides a mechanism for citizens to receive Notices of Proposed Rulemaking in their areas of interest. When you sign up to receive Regulatory Notices, you are provided with information on the proposed rules, its public hearing and an effortless way to request that the rulemaking agency complete a cost-benefit analysis of the new or amended rules.
