SB 23-223

Senate Bill 23-223 changes the schedule for reporting on Medicaid provider rates in Colorado. Originally, the state department was required to submit a report by November 1, 2025, but this bill moves that deadline up to November 1, 2023. This affects how healthcare providers are paid through Medicaid and ensures more timely updates on the review process for these payments. The bill has been signed into law and is now effective, meaning the department must start preparing the report by the new date.
