A Program Approved Service Agency (PASA) is an agency that has been approved to provide direct community-based services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities approved for Medicaid waiver services.
As a PASA, you may provide approved services through the Home and Community-Based Services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (HCBS-DD), Home and Community-Based Services Supported Living Services (HCBS-SLS), Home and Community-Based Services Children’s Extensive Services (HCBS-CES), and Home and Community-Based Services Children's Habilitation Residential Program (HCBS-CHRP).
The training linked below will help you learn more about what a PASA is, and how you apply to become a provider.
PASA Application Process Flowchart 7.16.2024.pdfAs explained in the training above, obtaining full approval as a Program Approved Service Agency will require the applicant to submit two separate applications to two separate State Agencies. One application is submitted to CDPHE for the purposes of verifying qualifications, and conducting an onsite survey. The second application is submitted to HCPF, and that is your actual enrollment into the Medicaid system. HCPF has ultimate approval authority for all PASA applicants.
The applicant does not need to wait for CDPHE to complete it's process before submitting the HCPF Medicaid Provider Enrollment Application, however the information on both applications MUST match. Included here is a flowchart of the application process from CDPHE.
Once you have reviewed the training linked above, as well as the rules and regulations around the services you are interested in providing, you may be ready to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI).
The LOI will let CDPHE know that you are interested in becoming a PASA. Once the LOI is received, we will send a copy of the most recent PASA Application.
Most of the information needed to submit the application is included on this site. Please review the Application Submission Requirements page for additional information.
