State Medicaid programs are working with Federal partners to make sure everyone is ready for the switchover!
Standard eligibility renewal and disenrollment processing will return to the way things were before that emergency was declared.
What’s Continuous Coverage?
Medicaid continuous coverage provisions have been in place for nearly three years! In March of 2020, coinciding with the proliferation of COVID-19, a Public Health Emergency was declared. The Medicaid Continuous Coverage Provisions have been in place since.
This program was designed to keep everyone with Medicaid covered during the Public Health Emergency. Now that it’s over, you’ll need to make sure you are enrolled.

Specific to Colorado
