Sometimes it's the simple things that make the biggest impact. You don’t need to have everything figured out for next week.

What matters most is how you show up. A regulated teacher can shift an entire room. A moment of connection can change a student’s day. A little bit of joy can go a long way. This work isn’t about doing more. It’s about seeing differently.

Take care of yourself this weekend. That is classroom management in TRC world✨💛

We want to make sure you are aware of a recent decrease in Medicaid reimbursement rates affecting all providers, effective April 1. Like many of you and other professional organizations across the state, we only became aware of this change this week. We recognize the immediate strain this places on your practice, your team, and the people you serve, and we share your frustration.

Visit www.otacco.org for more clickable links, or check your e-mail.

What you need to know:
Updated provider rates are available here: https://hcpf.colorado.gov/provider-rates-fee-schedule

You can search specific CPT code reimbursement rates, and review accepted CPT codes in the OT billing manual by downloading the files available on the HCPF website.

Additional details are in the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF)'s April bulletin (see page 7).

Take action now!
Your voice is critical. Here are specific steps you can take today:

Phone: (303) 866-2993

Strengthen our collective advocacy
Join the OTAC legislative committee by emailing info@otacco.org, or maintain or renew your OTAC membership.

Engage in upcoming elections
Share your concerns with candidates for Colorado governor ahead of the November 3, 2026 election, and confirm your voter registration.

Although these changes are already in effect through an amendment to an executive order, continued advocacy can influence future decisions and improve communication moving forward.

We know this situation is discouraging. You are not alone, and your voice truly makes a difference. The more providers who speak up, the stronger our collective impact will be.

Thank you for the care you provide every day and for standing together during this time.

Sincerely,
Molly Hahn-Floyd
OTAC President
