Colorado set to eliminate most copays for Medicaid patients

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:14:53 GMT

Coloradans who rely on Medicaid — the public health insurance for the state’s lowest-income individuals and children — will no longer need to pay nearly all copays under changes passed by the General Assembly. Patients would still need to cover copays for non-emergency emergency room visits. Currently, Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program, charges copays of $10 per day for inpatient hospital services, $4 for outpatient hospital services, $2 for primary care and $1 per day for radiology services, such as non-dental X-rays.The state would still pay providers for their services. In all, the department estimates the changes will eliminate copays for some 3.6 million services annually.The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing cited several studies warning that copays “as little as $1 can lead to delayed care, pill-splitting, unfilled prescriptions, and more expensive utilization.”“People struggle to afford the cost of heal...

Editorial: The $800k DougCo settlement is the price of school district secrecy and cover-ups

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:14:53 GMT

A new era of secrecy and cover-ups has infected Colorado school districts. Board members shield records from public scrutiny, hide important discussions from the public in executive sessions, and meet secretly one-on-one to cut deals via emails, text messages, and verbal agreements.And in this climate of growing disregard for the Colorado Open Records Act and Colorado Open Meetings Law, lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it more difficult to challenge a school district that fails to properly disclose closed-door meeting topics. Public districts are already operating too much like private businesses; they don’t need encouragement from lawmakers too.The $832,733 paid out to fired Douglas County Superintendent Cory Wise is the best possible case to be made for school board members to get their acts together and start acting like elected officials representing the public in a transparent and open manner. Taxpayers will foot this bill to cover school board membersR...
