Renewals: What you need to know

The renewal process checks to see if you still qualify for Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) or Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+).

Some members will be automatically renewed based on information we have. Other members will need to go through the renewal process.

If you are auto-renewed

  • You will get a letter several weeks before your renewal deadline saying your health coverage has been renewed.
  • You may also receive a letter after you are renewed asking if your income information is correct. You must respond to this letter to continue qualifying for coverage.

If you are not auto-renewed

  • You need to go through the renewal process to see if you still qualify for Health First Colorado or CHP+.
  • You will get a renewal packet in the mail and online at CO.gov/PEAK about 60-70 days before your renewal deadline.
  • You will get notifications about your renewal through mail, or if you have signed up for electronic notifications, through email, text message and by push notification if you have the Health First Colorado app.
  • You must complete, sign, and mail or bring your renewal packet to your local county human services department by your renewal deadline. You can also complete the renewal packet online at CO.gov/PEAK or on the Health First Colorado app.

How will I know when my renewal is due?

Health First Colorado will send a renewal packet either in the mail or to your email telling you to check your PEAK mailbox several weeks before your renewal due date. If you use the Health First Colorado app, and have opted in to push notifications, you will get a notification letting you know when it’s time to take action.

Important!

You must sign your renewal and submit it online or mail it back in by the deadline specified in the packet, even if there are no changes.
