Colorado Home Care Rate Increases Lobbied By HCAC Are Going Into Effect
Posted Aug. 23, 2018
Colorado's General Assembly raised rates for home health, private duty nursing and tele-health by 1 percent effective July 1. Rates for HCBS, IHSS and CDASS personal care and homemaker services were raised by $0.92/hour, now $18.44 up from $17.52 effective on January 1, 2019, or when federal authorities give their final approval.
The Home Care Association of Colorado played a lead role in securing these increases, which were previously announced earlier this year to HCAC's members.
HCAC thanks its members for supporting our efforts through their membership dues as well as through contributions to our PAC. Non-members are encouraged to help us secure future rate increases.

Call For Speaker Proposals Still Open For 2019 Rocky Mountain Home Care, Home Health & Hospice Conference
Posted: Aug. 23, 2018
The Home Care Association of Colorado's Education Committee requests compelling speaker proposals for the 2019 Rocky Mountain Home Care, Home Health & Hospice Conference.
The 2019 conference will be attended by hundreds of provider agencies in Colorado, Wyoming and adjacent states. An accompanying trade show will include interactive demonstrations from vendors from around the nation.
HCAC seeks the following:
- Engaging keynote presenters who can enlighten our provider members in a time of great industry change
- Breakout presenters addressing: private pay issues, technology, non-medical issues, regulatory and compliance, and, new for 2019, a one-day therapy track addressing the special needs of physical therapists and others practicing in a home-health setting
- Pre-conference proposals for Wednesday afternoon. Pre-conference sessions typically each cover four hours and so are especially good for topics requiring a "deeper dive" in a workshop-style format. They require separate attendee registration.
