I have Family Planning Limited Benefit coverage. Will I need to go through the renewal process?
Yes, when it’s time to renew, as part of the renewal you must request the Family Planning Limited Benefit coverage on PEAK at CO.gov/PEAK or with your local county human services department to continue receiving these benefits.
What happens if I miss my renewal deadline?
If you miss your renewal deadline, you will no longer have Health First Colorado or CHP+ coverage at the end of your renewal period.
In the 90 days after you lose health coverage, your eligibility will be checked again if you give new information or if you turn in your paperwork late. This is called a reconsideration period.
During the reconsideration period, you can submit your renewal paperwork and any other needed documents to your county or through PEAK during the reconsideration period. This will show up as an item on the To-Do list in PEAK.
If you do not submit your renewal and other documents within 90 days of losing coverage, you will need to submit a new application to see if you qualify for Health First Colorado or CHP+.
I got a letter saying I don’t qualify for Health First Colorado or CHP+, and I don’t agree. Can I appeal this decision?
Yes, you are always allowed to appeal a decision about whether you qualify for health coverage. See our Appeals page for details.
