The Colorado Medical Home Initiative is a statewide effort to build systems of quality health care for all children in Colorado while increasing the capacity of providers to deliver care to kids in our state. The medical home model is an approach to health care that ensures that all providers of a child’s care operate as a team; that families are critical members of that team; and that all team members understand the importance of quality, coordinated medical, mental and oral health care.
One way to become a certified Medical Home is to affiliate with The Colorado Children’s Healthcare Access Program (CCHAP). The Colorado Children’s Healthcare Access Program is a non-profit organization devoted to ensuring that every child enrolled in Medicaid and the Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) receives comprehensive healthcare from a primary care provider—a “medical home.”
CCHAP also provides 14 support services for pediatric and family practices throughout the state of Colorado to assist with the care of Medicaid children. The Medical Homes for Children Program at HCPF, in partnership with CCHAP, also provides participating practices pay for performance reimbursement for preventive care visits for Medicaid children. CCHAP will guide the medical practice through an easy and efficient process to become a Certified Medical Home. For more information, please visit our website http://www.cchap.org.
