Occupational therapists are KNOWN for creativity, innovation and figuring out solutions to problems. We are experts in medical equipment, modifying spaces to improve function and for treating people holistically. I am a big believer in education and explanation so I use additional items to help me with this in treatment. I love to help people understand their anatomy, how it works and what can be supportive. OTs get to have so much fun in their jobs and no day is ever the same! Happy OT Month!

We see a large population of people with Medicaid as their insurance. Therapy in Colorado has taken a huge hit in reduction of payment with our billable codes. We need all voices in the ring to speak up for changes to reimbursement, access to care, less administrative hurdles in taking care of people.

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 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:

Contact the Governor’s Office
Share how these cuts are affecting your patients, services, and practice here: https://governorsoffice.colorado.gov/governor/share-comments

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

She truly shines when it comes to completing tasks efficiently and thoroughly, ensuring every detail is handled. A true team player, Rachael steps in wherever needed.

Rachael has become an exceptional problem solver and true expert in her role. Her skill in getting difficult claims paid is remarkable and reflects her dedication and expertise. We want to recognize Rachael for the hard work, commitment, and effort she puts in each day to ensure everyone has the best possible experience.

Way to go, Rachael! 💜

Adaptive equipment doesn't always LOOK like medical equipment and that is a good thing! Check out this mug with a large handle that will accommodate for various types of grip and reduce spills with the wider base. How about a gaming chair but to use for other activities, too? They can lock from auto-reclining and make it easier to support joint pain and fatigue. Often times, shopping for patients is a family affair--check out and his choice. Great for sensory regulation and comfort! Therapists get to be creative each and everyday. Need a solution? Consult an OT, SLP, or PT!

What is functional fitness and what does it have to do with occupational therapy? We help people engage in the world safely and independently. Everyone's values and meaningful activities are different and it is imperative for an OT to understand individual's goals and limitations. We help with functional reach, fall prevention, endurance for activities, pain management, and elevate quality of life. We also incorporate functional activities to be the root of how we help people become more fit! The personal trainers we work with through Covell Care are also skilled in these strategies too! Reach out with questions and for support. (And check out one of the articles from the American OT Association library in Maryland! Been making a different in functional fitness in OT for decades. ❣️)
