CROSSING THE FINISH LINE
TOGETHER. SCORING A WIN FOR EVERY COLORADO CHILD
All Kids Covered wants
every child in Colorado to have access to affordable health
coverage and quality care. As a non-partisan coalition, we
work to:
Reform Colorado’s
system that provides medical assistance for kids in need
-
Update the eligibility
determination process to create a seamless program for
children and families.
-
Implement reforms
approved over the last three years that improve
children’s access to health coverage programs, including
presumptive eligibility for kids, 12-month continuous
eligibility for children in Medicaid, and promoting
“Healthy Communities” -- a new state outreach plan.
-
Reduce red tape so
that families can get – and keep – health coverage
-
Implement
administrative verification of family income and a
renewal system that eliminates procedural denials and
closures in Colorado.
-
Secure administrative
verification of a child’s identity and place of birth,
thereby eliminating a common barrier to enrollment for
families.
Assure long-term
program availability for Colorado kids
-
Secure enhanced
federal funding opportunities for CHP+ and Medicaid.
-
Sustain public
programs after federal stimulus funding is no longer
available.
-
Maintain provider
reimbursement rates.
Advocate for children’s
health coverage expansions
-
Monitor the
implementation of the Colorado Healthcare Affordability
Act (HB09-1293).
-
Enhance the dental
benefit under CHP+ to improve kids’ access to needed
dental care.
-
Add dental benefits
for pregnant women under Medicaid and CHP+.
-
Offer options to cover
kids and pregnant women not reached by other public
coverage expansions.
Promote access to
quality care
-
Create coordinated
systems of care for children that enable families to
benefit from a medical home.
-
Allow the state to
track health outcomes of children involved in public
insurance programs, and maximize the value of the
services and care provided through our public
investments.
