Common questions
- How do I verify a healthcare license in Colorado?
- Verify with the Colorado board that issued the license. This directory lists 1 Colorado licensing lookups, including Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs. Pick the board for the provider's profession; each entry links to the board's own verification page.
- Does Colorado publish a Medicaid exclusion list?
- Yes. Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing Medicaid Exclusions List is the state list. Check it alongside the federal OIG LEIE and SAM.gov, since state exclusions are not always reflected in the federal lists.
- Does Colorado require a separate controlled substance registration?
- This directory does not list a separate Colorado controlled substance registration lookup. Prescribers there operate under the federal DEA registration; confirm current requirements with the state board of pharmacy.
- Where do providers enroll in Colorado Medicaid?
- Health First Colorado is the state's provider enrollment portal. Medicaid enrollment is separate from commercial payer enrollment and from Medicare enrollment through PECOS.
