Traditional fee-for-service reimbursement models in the health care system are not only linked to higher health care expenditures, but also perpetuate health disparities by impeding whole-person care models that meet the needs of consumers with the highest barriers to accessing care. CCHI participates in numerous alternative payment model (APM) initiatives to ensure APMs in Colorado advance investment in health equity and work for consumers. We supported the passage of HB19-1233 which created the Primary Care Payment Reform Collaborative and have continuously had staff appointed to represent the consumer perspective as members of the Collaborative. CCHI also participates in the statewide APM Alignment Advisory Group that will decide by consensus a unified set of recommendations for public and private payers to implement while shifting away from fee-for-service payment models. Additionally, we continue to participate in workgroups and coalition efforts to ensure Medicaid APM initiatives center equity and address pressing health disparities
