"Addressing the Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) of Health First Colorado and CHP+ Members
The Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) is actively working to better support the health-related social needs (HRSN) of Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) members, such as housing instability and food security, in an effort to recognize that a member’s health depends on more than health care alone. There is growing interest in supporting individuals' HRSN from other Colorado state agencies, community partners and our federal partners.
