Federal changes are coming to Colorado’s Medicaid program, Health First Colorado. Starting October 1, 2026, some immigrants who currently qualify may lose full coverage — but many people will not be affected. If you are, you’ll receive a letter before anything changes.
What to do now, before October 1, 2026:
Update your information at Colorado PEAK (co.gov/PEAK ), the Health First Colorado app, or your county human services office.
Use your coverage now — schedule medical, dental, and behavioral health appointments and refill prescriptions.
Watch for official letters and respond to any you receive.
Reach out to someone you trust. Local organizations are ready to help.
