Colorado Medicaid eConsult Program

Welcome to the Colorado Medicaid
eConsult Program

Funded by the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF), the Colorado Medicaid eConsult Program aims to ease challenges faced from lack of access to specialty care across the state. Colorado Medicaid eConsults are free to Providers, offering high demand specialties, addressing workforce shortages and geographic barriers, and improving access to essential healthcare services for all Coloradans.

What is an​ eConsult?

Electronic consults, or eConsults, are asynchronous (store and forward) clinical communications between a primary care medical provider (PCMP) and a specialty provider (specialist). PCMPs can use the web-based Colorado Medicaid eConsult platform to transmit secure eConsult requests to specialists.

“Thanks to the doctor who keeps helping with dermatology. We appreciate him.”

Shannon Fisher, NP from Fountain Valley Health Care, LLC

“This is very helpful since there are not any endocrine doctors taking any new Medicaid patients. This is the second eConsult that I have had to do because of this.”

Shannon Fisher, NP from Fountain Valley Health Care, LLC
Jennie Barker, FNP from Gorman Medical

“This is amazing! I appreciate the expert advice and recommendations. My patients are better served because of this service and the expert advice from other disciplines.”

Patricia Donegan, FNP-C from Castillo Primary Care

“I have used the pulmonologist consult the most and being able to help my asthmatic patients has been amazing. I have been able to get them on a better medication regimen and they are not having to use their rescue inhaler as often or very minimally.”

Patricia Donegan, FNP-C from Castillo Primary Care

Cathy Miller, Practice Manager from Walsh Medical Clinic

“My NP was very happy with the speed with which the response arrived. With the help of the Specialist, they were able to get their young patient connected to the appropriate services need at Children’s Hospital and are already seeing results coming in from Children’s Hospital on what is being done with their patient.”

Cathy Miller, Practice Manager from Walsh Medical Clinic

Christie Foster, PA-C from Iron Horse Pediatrics

“eConsult resulted in my patient receiving specialist advice much more quickly than they would have using a traditional referral for a face-to-face visit. They would have had to travel miles and miles, taking time off work for an extra appointment. Instead, they now have a local follow-up primary care visit where they are used to being seen.”
