Child Health Plan Plus Eligibility Rule-Making Hearing January 13, 2017

November 21, 2016

The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing - Child Health Plan Plus will be holding a rulemaking hearing on Friday, January 13th, 2017, 9:00 am on rules regarding CHP Eligibility Rules. The hearing will be held at: 303 East 17th Avenue, 11th Floor, Denver CO 80203.

The purpose of this rulemaking is:

The proposed rule change is to incorporate revisions mandated by Executive Order D 2012-002 (EO 2), as codified at Section 24.4-4-103.3 CRS (2014). The governor issued an Executive order which requires that state agencies review, on a continuing basis, all existing rules to ensure they use the best, most innovative and least burdensome tools for achieving their goals. A regulatory review is solely for the purpose of identifying those rules which are duplicative, overlapping, outdated and inconsistent. The Colorado Benefits Management System (CBMS) does not need to be updated for sections 50 through 600 since all rules are in alignment with federal regulations.

If you believe there will be a significant negative impact on small business, job creation or economic competitiveness, you may request that the Department of Regulatory Agencies require the rulemaking agency to prepare a cost-benefit analysis of a proposed rule or amendment. This request must be made to the Department of Regulatory Agencies by Thursday, December 15th, 2016.

You may also submit comments directly to the rulemaking agency for the agency's consideration during the upcoming rulemaking hearing.
