WHERE TO APPLY FOR COLORADO MEDICAID?
Go to the blue government pages in your phone book and look under the listing for either Human Services or Social Services for your particular county. Yes, you need to go to your county listings, not the state Colorado listings.
The application form you will get requires that you list your current income and assets. You will also need to gather your bank account records, going back 6 months (and sometimes longer, depending upon your county’s requirements). The Colorado Medicaid technicians are looking closely for gifts you may have made. Some states even make you produce a copy of every check you have written over the last 5 years! Checks written for Christmas gifts, Easter gifts, birthday gifts, church donations or other charitable gifts could be cause for you to be disqualified. Gifts that were made exclusively for a purpose other than to qualify for Medicaid may be ignored. This is tricky business, however, and will cause issues anytime you apply for Colorado Medicaid. We advise our Colorado Medicaid applicants to start gathering the necessary information far in advance of an application. We have a complete checklist of documents we give our clients so they know exactly what to gather up before we file.
If you or one of your family members are ready to make application for Colorado Medicaid benefits, give us a call and we will give you a game plan to follow so that there will be minimal delays in the application process and the minimum loss, if any, of valuable benefits.
