Hospital Discounted Care
Colorado’s Hospital Discounted Care Program, which was created by House Bill (HB) 21-1198, took effect on Sept. 1, 2022. The program establishes requirements for how hospitals screen, bill, and collect payments from low-income patients. The program covers any medically necessary service required in a general acute care or critical access hospital and freestanding emergency departments.
The Hospital Discounted Care Program is managed by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.
