Children's Waiver Flowchart

These charts will help you understand and navigate the Long Term Care programs available within Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid Program). Additionally, there are Case Managers across the state that are able to explain the various programs and answer any questions you may have. To help you choose a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver, we recommend you begin thinking about the following questions: What is your child not able to do that another child of the same age could do? - When walking do you have to hold his/her hand? - Is he/she able to use the bathroom by themselves? - How much do you rely on friends/family to take care of your child due to his/her unique needs? What services are you hoping to gain? For instance: - Does your child need in-home care? - Does your child need therapy for their behaviors? - Do you need respite care for your child?
