  The medical assistance program in this state shall include private-duty nursing to persons who are technology dependent and otherwise eligible as provided under this section.    A recipient is eligible for private-duty nursing services if he or she:   Is dependent on technology at least part of each day;    Requires private-duty nursing care as determined in accordance with state department rules;    Is able to be served safely under the limitations of the private-duty nursing benefit and within the availability of services; and    Is not residing in a nursing facility or hospital at the time of the delivery of the private-duty nursing services.         The state board shall establish rules in accordance with this section that identify medical criteria for determining the circumstances under which private-duty nursing services will be delivered to assure that only persons who need the services receive them and only to the extent medically necessary.    Private-duty nursing services shall not be provided as twenty-four-hour care except in special circumstances and for limited time periods as established by the state department pursuant to this section.    The home health agency, in conjunction with the family or in-home caregiver and the attending physician, shall include in a care plan that includes private-duty nursing services a process by which the eligible person may receive necessary care, which may include respite care, if the family or in-home caregiver is unavailable due to an emergency situation or to unforeseen circumstances. The family or in-home caregiver shall be duly informed by the home health agency of these alternative care provisions at the time the care plan is initiated.       As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, “private-duty nursing” means nursing care that is more individualized and continuous than both the nursing care available under the home health benefit and the nursing care routinely provided in a hospital or nursing facility.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 25.5 - Health Care Policy and Financing|Article 5 - Colorado Medical Assistance Act - Services and Programs|Part 3 - Services With Special State Provisions|§ 25.5-5-307. Child Mental Health Treatment and Family Support Program

  The general assembly finds that many parents in Colorado who have experienced challenging circumstances because their children have significant mental health needs and who have attempted to care for their children or seek services on their behalf often are burdened with the excessive financial and personal costs of providing such care. Private insurance companies may not cover mental health services and rarely cover residential mental health treatment services; those that do seldom cover a sufficient percentage of the expense to make such mental health treatment a viable option for many families in need. The result is that many families do not have the ability to obtain the mental health services that they feel their children desperately need. The general assembly finds that it is in the best interests of these families and the citizens of the state to encourage the preservation of family units by making mental health treatment available to these children pursuant to article 67 of title 27, C.R.S.    In order to make mental health treatment available, it is the intent of the general assembly that each medicaid-eligible child who is diagnosed as a person with a mental health disorder, as that term is defined in section 27-65-102 (11.5), must receive mental health treatment, which may include in-home family mental health treatment, other family preservation services, residential treatment, or any post-residential follow-up services, that must be paid for through federal medicaid funding.

  The health-care practitioner for each pregnant woman who is enrolled or eligible for services pursuant to section 25.5-5-101 (1)(c) or 25.5-5-201 (1)(m.5) is encouraged to identify as soon as possible after the woman is determined to be pregnant whether the woman is at risk of a poor birth outcome due to substance use during the prenatal period and in need of special assistance in order to reduce the risk. If the health-care practitioner makes such determination regarding any pregnant woman, the health-care practitioner is encouraged to refer the woman to any entity approved and licensed by the department of human services for the performance of a needs assessment. Any county department of human or social services may refer an eligible woman for a needs assessment, or any pregnant woman who is eligible for services pursuant to section 25.5-5-201 (1)(m.5) may refer herself for a needs assessment.    For the purposes of this section, unless the context otherwise requires, a “needs assessment” means an assessment that is designed to determine the services that are needed for a pregnant woman to minimize the occurrence of a poor birth outcome due to substance use by the pregnant woman.

  The general assembly finds that, because Colorado is faced with rising health- care costs and limited resources, it is necessary to seek new ways to ensure the availability of high-quality, cost-efficient care for medicaid recipients. The general assembly further finds that disease management is a patient-focused, integrated approach to providing all components of care with attention to both quality of care and total cost. In addition, the general assembly finds that this approach may include coordination of physician care with pharmaceutical and institutional care. The general assembly further finds that disease management also addresses the various aspects of a disease state, including meeting the needs of persons who have multiple chronic illnesses. The general assembly declares that the improved coordination in disease management helps to provide chronically ill patients with access to the latest advances in treatment and teaches them how to be active participants in their health care through health education, thus reducing total health-care costs.    The state department, in consultation with the department of public health and environment, is authorized to develop and implement disease management programs, for fee-for-service and primary care physician program recipients, that are designed to address over- or under-utilization or the inappropriate use of services or prescription drugs and that may affect the total cost of health-care utilization by a particular medicaid recipient with a particular disease or combination of diseases. The disease management programs shall target medicaid recipients who are receiving prescription drugs or services in an amount that exceeds guidelines outlined by the state department. The state department shall not restrict a medicaid recipient's access to the most cost-effective and medically appropriate prescription drugs or services. The state department may contract on a contingency basis for the development or implementation of the disease management programs authorized in this subsection (2).    If the state department implements any disease management programs authorized in subsection (2) of this section, the state department shall report to the joint budget committee of the general assembly an estimate of the fiscal implications generated by the implementation of the disease management programs. Such report shall be made on or before February 1 of the year following the implementation of a disease management program and on or before each February 1 thereafter in which such program is in place.
