Regional Program Improvement Advisory Committees (PIAC)

PIACs

Working with community partners for the health of Colorado.

As the regional organization for the Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) program in Region 4 (Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas Counties), we have two Program Improvement Advisory Committees (PIACs):

• PIAC for children and youth health care
• PIAC for adult health care

These committees provide guidance and recommendations on how to improve health, access, cost, and member and provider satisfaction for Health First Colorado and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+).

Who is on the Committee?

Each committee has a formal membership made up of a broad range of partners:

• Colorado Access members, families and caregivers
• Physical health providers
• Behavioral health providers
• Other providers in the health care system, such as specialists, hospitals, oral health, and long term services and supports
• Other individuals who represent advocacy and community organizations, local public health, and child welfare

How do I join?

Your voice matters!  We’re looking for people who:

• Can see the big picture
• Have an interest in health care
• Can work on a team
• Can come to the scheduled meetings
• Want to help make services better for all members
