- The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that assisted living residences provide necessary services to many residents who receive medicaid benefits pursuant to articles 4, 5, and 6 of title 25.5, C.R.S. Because so many Coloradans benefit from assisted living centers that serve medicaid recipients, the general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that assisted living residences that have high medicaid utilization should receive a modified fee schedule for fees required by this article.
- Residences identified as high medicaid utilization residences by the department shall be subject to a modified fee schedule as determined by the board.
- Residences identified as servicing a disproportionate number of low-income residents may be subject to a modified fee schedule as determined by the board.
