Program Description
Medicaid is a program that pays for health insurance for some
Coloradans who can not afford it. When state and Federal eligibility
criteria are met, Medicaid covers families with children, pregnant women,
the elderly, and people with disabilities. People who are not US citizens
can only get Medicaid to pay a life threatening medical emergency. The
Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing administers
the Medicaid program.
