COLORADO MEDICAID REFORM
ACCOUNTABLE CARE COLLABORATIVE (ACC)

What is it?
The ACC is Colorado Medicaid’s new initiative to provide more cost effective and quality care. The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF, which administers Medicaid in Colorado) has divided the state up into 7 regions and selected a Regional Care Collaborative Organization (RCCO) for each of these regions.  The RCCOs are responsible for providing patient education and support services for Medicaid clients.  The RCCOs and CCHAP will assist practices with care coordination and in meeting Colorado’s expectations for providers who wish to provide a medical home for children and/or adults on Medicaid.
