Therapy services under Health First Colorado (Medicaid) funding
We proudly support children and young adults in Colorado who are covered by Health First Colorado. If your child has a developmental or medical diagnosis and is eligible for Medicaid, they may be able to access physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language therapy.
Utilize funding with Better Days
To access therapy through Health First Colorado, your child will need a referral from their doctor made out specifically to Better Days. This referral allows us to begin the intake process and request prior authorization from Medicaid to start therapy services.
Our team is here to make the process clear, efficient, and stress-free, so your child can begin receiving the support they need as soon as possible.
