Are People Who Do Not Qualify for Medicaid Eligible for Colorado PACE Enrollment?

Yes. If a person meets the income and assets limits to qualify for Medicaid, the program pays for a portion of the monthly Colorado PACE premium. Medicare pays for the rest. If a person does not qualify for Medicaid, he or she is responsible for the portion of the monthly premium Medicaid would pay. Colorado PACE staff can help determine a person’s Medicaid eligibility.

Can I Keep My Own Doctor?ColoradoPACE2024-09-02T10:26:10-06:00

Can I Keep My Own Doctor?

Colorado PACE participants agree to receive all health care services defined in a participant’s individualized care plan developed by the Colorado PACE program’s Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). Colorado PACE IDT members include the primary care provider, registered nurse, social worker, physical, occupational, and recreational therapists, dietitian, home care coordinator, personal care attendant, transportation driver, and center director.

If you have a specialist that is part of the Colorado PACE network of contracted providers, you may be able to keep your current specialty care physician. When a participant enrolls in a Colorado PACE health plan, she/he is assigned a primary care physician (PCP) who is a member of the Colorado PACE Day Center’s Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) skilled in treating the healthcare needs of seniors.

Colorado PACE participants may be fully and personally liable for the costs of unauthorized or out of Colorado PACE program agreement services.
