MEDICAID/ HEALTH FIRST COLORADO
MEDICAID BUY-IN PROGRAM
This is a state-based online Marketplace that allows lawfully present Coloradans to shop for and compare private health insurance plans. You can apply for financial assistance to offset costs for monthly premiums, copays and deductibles for those who qualify. Monthly premiums vary by plan and by eligibility for financial assistance.
EMERGENCY MEDICAID
This is public health insurance for Coloradans who meet the income guidelines for Medicaid/ Health First Colorado but do not meet the lawful presence requirements. This program only covers life or limb threatening emergencies, medically necessary dialysis for those with kidney disease and the delivery of baby for pregnant women.
CLINIC RATE/ SLIDING FEE SCALE
Salud has a sliding-fee scale based on family size and income. Patients at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Guideline (FPG) will pay a "nominal charge" based on broad service groupings. For patients between 101%-200% of FPG, Salud will continue to offer sliding-fee discounts that are well below our actual cost to deliver those services. No one will be denied access to services due to inability to pay.

OMNISALUD
This program allows Coloradans to purchase private health insurance regardless of documentation status. Customers can shop for plans and submit applications during the open enrollment period: November 1st - January 15th. When applying for health coverage, information about immigration status will be used only to determine someone's eligibility for coverage and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. In order to apply, we recommend visiting the OmniSalud sites to find application assistance asap in ENGLISH and SPANISH. Full priced plans will be available throughout open enrollment and are not limited. A tele-enrollment visit with a Salud Enrollment Specialist can also be scheduled for application assistance, but the wait time is typically three weeks.

Under the “No Surprises Act”, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
By law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. This law states:
-
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
-
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
-
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or us at 303-MY-SALUD.
