Children's Home and Community-Based Services (CHCBS) Waiver

A waiver is an extra set of Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) benefits that your child could qualify for in certain cases. These benefits can help you remain in your home and community. Waivers have extra program rules and some programs may have waitlists. The Children's Home and Community-Based Services Waiver (CHCBS) is available for children with significant medical needs and who are at risk for institutional care in an acute hospital or skilled nursing facility. Services work with or add to the services that are available to your child through the Health First Colorado State plan and other federal, state, and local public programs. CHCBS also works with the supports that families and communities provide. If your child receives services through the CHCBS waiver, your child is also eligible for all Health First Colorado covered services. View the full text of the CHCBS waiver and Waiver Lifecycle
