C.R.S. Section 25.5-3-102
Legislative declaration


(1)

The general assembly hereby determines, finds, and declares that:

(a)

The state has insufficient resources to pay for all medical services for persons who are indigent and must therefore allocate available resources in a manner that will provide treatment of those conditions constituting the most serious threats to the health of such medically indigent persons, as well as increase access to primary medical care to prevent deterioration of the health conditions among medically indigent people; and

(b)

Such allocation of resources will require the prioritization of medical services by providers and the coordination of administration and delivery of medical services.

(2)

The general assembly further determines, finds, and declares that the eligibility of medically indigent persons to receive medical services rendered under the conditions specified in subsection (1) of this section exists only to the extent of available appropriations, as well as to the extent of the individual provider facility’s physical, staff, and financial capabilities. The general assembly also recognizes that the program for the medically indigent is a partial solution to the health-care needs of Colorado’s medically indigent citizens. Therefore, medically indigent persons accepting medical services from such program shall be subject to the limitations and requirements imposed in this part 1.
