Program Improvement Advisory Committee

Program Improvement Advisory Committee 

• Agency/Organization: Colorado Access

• Region: Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, and Elbert Counties

• Issue Area: Healthcare

• Mission Statement: As the Regional Organization for the Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid Program) program, Colorado Access operates two regionally-focused Program Improvement Advisory Committees or PIACs for Region 3 (Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas and Elbert Counties) and for Region 5 (City and County of Denver).  The purpose of these committees is to engage a broad range of local stakeholders—including Colorado Access members and families—in high-level strategy within the topics of physical and behavioral health.  These committees provide guidance and make recommendations to Colorado Access on how to improve health, access, cost, and member and provider satisfaction within the regions we serve. 

• Time Commitment: Generally, the PIAC meets quarterly for 2 hours.  They ask that members serve for a three-year term with the possibility of serving a second term.

• Membership Criteria:

  • For those with lived experience, you must be a current Colorado Access Medicaid member or a caregiver/family member of a Colorado Access Medicaid member

• Compensation: $25/hour; transportation assistance can be provided, if needed.
