Colorado Medicaid caregiver hour cuts leave families fighting for exceptions
Colorado Medicaid has implemented caregiver hour cuts starting July 1, with families needing exceptions for medically fragile individuals. Ronnie Broyles is seeking an exception for his daughter Victoria, who requires around-the-clock care, but faces challenges in the approval process. The state claims the cap aims to prevent caregiver burnout, not cost savings, though projected fiscal savings are outlined.
