Exhibit C - HB 24-1038.pdf

This is an exhibit document related to House Bill 24-1038 for the State of Colorado, specifically addressing PRTF (Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility) High Acuity Beds. The document outlines provisions related to the expansion and funding of psychiatric residential treatment capacity within Colorado's mental health system. The initiative focuses on increasing the availability of high acuity treatment beds to address gaps in residential mental health services for individuals requiring intensive psychiatric care. The project encompasses coordination among state agencies responsible for mental health services, Medicaid administration, and residential treatment facility providers. The contract opportunity involves the identification, development, and potential expansion of PRTF capacity, with implementation timelines tied to legislative approval and funding allocation processes. Bidders or providers interested in participating must review specific requirements regarding facility standards, licensure, staffing credentials, and service delivery protocols established under Colorado law.

Funding for this initiative is sourced through Colorado state appropriations as authorized by HB 24-1038, with Medicaid reimbursement mechanisms available for eligible services and populations. Pricing and reimbursement rates are established according to Colorado's PRTF payment schedules and Medicaid fee-for-service structures. The contract may include provisions for both new providers entering the PRTF market and existing incumbent providers expanding their capacity. Prospective providers should note that this opportunity involves compliance with state regulatory requirements, licensing standards, and quality metrics specific to psychiatric residential treatment services, as well as coordination with Colorado's Department of Human Services and relevant Medicaid authorities.
