About Colorado Health Benefit Exchange
Colorado Health Benefit Exchange, doing business as Connect For Health Colorado, operates as a nonprofit grant recipient for federal healthcare modernization funding, receiving awards primarily from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the State Planning and Establishment Grants for Affordable Care Act Exchanges program (CFDA #93.525). The organization acts as a prime grant recipient in roughly one-third of its federal footprint and as a sub-recipient under the State of Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing in the remainder.
Connect For Health Colorado is a tax-exempt nonprofit entity headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The organization has received 12 federal grant awards since 2012, with combined obligated dollars of $188.4 million. Recent activity shows concentration in two customer agencies — both reporting lines to the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — which account for 100% of awards. The organization's prime grant work includes a $1.1 million cooperative agreement from CMS awarded September 10, 2021 through September 9, 2022, funding state exchange modernization to implement provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act related to premium assistance amounts available through the ACA exchanges. This award supported technology modifications and program enhancements to the Colorado health insurance exchange to expand resident access to affordable health coverage.
As a sub-recipient, Connect For Health Colorado has received eight sub-grant awards from the State of Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing dating from July 2025 through February 2026, carrying descriptions such as "CHP ADM" (Colorado Health Plan Administration) and "Admin Expenses." One sub-award from February 2026 carries an obligated amount of $760,705. Activity accelerated sharply in 2025, with six awards in that year alone, compared to one award in 2021 and two awards in 2012–2013. The organization's federal grant work focuses on operational support and administrative expenses for the state's health insurance exchange, positioning it within the healthcare reform and insurance affordability mission set rather than as a technology systems prime or IT services contractor.
