HB 1377: Managed Care Entity Payments - Colorado

Rerevised → Final Act · 3 edits · May 26, 2026

MINOR

This bill clarifies how money flows between state agencies and private managed care companies are counted for state budget limits. It adds a new legal definition stating that funds transferred from the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to the Department of Human Services via these private entities should not count toward the state's annual spending cap. This change aims to prevent double-counting of funds that originate from federal or state sources but pass through private intermediaries.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of the state's spending calculation rules to explicitly include transactions involving managed care entities that act as pass-throughs for federal or state funds.

DEFINITION

Added a new statute (C.R.S. 26-1-143) defining how managed care entity payments are treated for state fiscal year spending calculations.

Defined 'managed care entity' for this act to align with existing definitions in state insurance law.

FISCAL

Established that funds received by the Department of Human Services from managed care entities are excluded from the TABOR spending limit calculation if those funds originally came from federal or state sources.
