If your family qualifies for CHP+, there are three simple steps you may take to apply.
- Fill out the CHP+ application. You may apply online. Click on the blue box titled “Apply for Benefits” to begin. It takes most people 30-60 minutes to apply. You can also apply in person, by mail or by calling 800-221-3943.
- Be sure to include all required documents. Click here to see what’s required.
- You’ll get auto-assigned to an HMO based on where you live. If you don’t get assigned to Colorado Access and you want to be on our plan, you may change your health plan. You have to change your plan within 90 days after you are first approved for CHP+. You may call 888-367-6557 to change your plan.
After you apply, you may check the status of your application online. If you applied by mail, in person or over the phone, you can still create a Colorado PEAK account to find out the status of your application online. Note: It may take 45 days from the date your application was received for a case number to be assigned, which is what you need to check your status and benefits online.
