DENVER - Governor Polis took action in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last week, the state announced that the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing would be directed to issue enhanced payments to Medicaid nursing home providers to support industry stabilization given the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds will be directed to support continued infection prevention efforts and rising costs of direct care staffing. Yesterday Governor Polis signed an Executive Order to move this process forward.
