    EPSDT Outreach Coordinators have up-to-date information on doctors, dentists and eye doctors in our community who are currently accepting Medicaid.
  2. What is the difference between Colorado Access and the Primary Care Physician Program?
    Both programs are insurance plans within the Medicaid program. Doctors sign on with one or both plans in order to be providers of services for persons eligible for Medicaid. Most Medicaid recipients must choose one or the other plan and our outreach coordinators can explain in detail these two plans to help you make a choice.
  3. What services does Medicaid cover for my pregnancy and for my children?
    EPSDT Outreach Coordinators are happy to explain the benefits that are covered as a benefit for pregnant women and children receiving Medicaid.
