Health Insurance

Jeffco Public Schools' Certified Application Assistance Site (CAAS) operates through the Jeffco Public Schools Community and Family Connections (CFC) program. CFC assists any individuals inquiring about Health First Colorado (Medicaid), Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) and other health-related resources. This also includes Jeffco families living in transitional housing situations. 

Please contact your CFC liaison or the Intake Line listed below for more information about health insurance services. 

As of August 31, 2016, Jeffco no longer operates as a Medical Assistance (MA) site. Effective September 1, 2016, Jeffco now operates as a Certified Application Assistance Site (CAAS).

Jeffco requests partial reimbursement for the health and health-related services for students with Health First Colorado (Medicaid) who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or other plan of care while at school. 

This reimbursement derives from the services of Jeffco district nurses, speech language pathologists, mental health providers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, orientation staff and mobility specialists. This also includes para-educators and health aides who provide personal care and delegate nursing services to these students. All service providers are required to be properly credentialed per the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

To claim reimbursement from Medicaid, a parent signed and dated “Consent to Access Benefits” form must be on file in the Medicaid office. This is a form that is usually signed at your child’s IEP meeting, or in the Infinite Campus Online Registration system during registration. 

This is a one-time form, so you only need to sign it once for the entirety of your student’s years in Jeffco. Should you unenroll in Jeffco and then return at a later date, you will need to resign the form. 

Your permission to Jeffco to access your child’s Medicaid benefits in no way impacts the services you receive through Medicaid outside of school. Please read the brochure from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) below for more information.
