Colorado's 1115 Waiver Extension Includes Health-Related Social Needs

Colorado's 1115 Waiver Extension Includes Health-Related Social Needs

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing recently confirmed that its 1115 demonstration waiver, which includes provisions for nutrition and housing supports, has been extended through the end of 2026. These health-related social needs (HRSN) services encompass medically-tailored meals, pantry stocking, and nutrition counseling for eligible Medicaid members.

HNH Insight

States are increasingly leveraging 1115 waivers to integrate non-clinical services like nutrition support directly into Medicaid benefits to address social determinants of health.
