Colorado Option Advances Equitable Access to Healthcare Through Implementation of Culturally Responsive Provider Networks

Colorado has been gearing up for its official launch of the Colorado Option (HB21-1232), designed to expand affordable, high-quality, dependable, and equitable healthcare access to all Coloradans. This groundbreaking legislation is set to launch in January 2023 and specifically aims to make coverage more affordable with a focus on addressing health disparities and advancing health equity, including with the establishment of culturally responsive provider networks. In a new fact sheet, United States of Care outlines these and other provisions of the Colorado Option that aim to advance health equity and highlights opportunities for other states to build on this work.
