For more information, including eligibility information, facility location and services provided, please call the IHS at 301.443.3024.

The local clinic is Denver Indian Health and Family Services, located at 2880 W. Holden Place, Denver. They are currently closed to in-person appointments, phone sessions only. No COVID-19 testing is available. Call the clinic at 303.953.6600 to speak with a provider.

Colorado Indigent Care Program - Colorado Resident Discount Program: The Colorado Indigent Care Program (CICP) is a state program administered by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. The CICP works by paying a portion of the cost of your care for you, leaving you a smaller portion to pay than if you had to pay full price for the service. If you qualify for this program, you will be asked to pay a fee for the services you use. The fees are based on your income and any assets you may have and are usually low cost to you.

• Eligibility: To qualify for the CICP, you must have combined income and resources at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level. You cannot be eligible for Medicaid, and you must be a Colorado resident and a U.S. citizen.
• For a complete listing of health care providers in your area, you can access the CICP website or call 303.866.2580. You have 90 days from the date of service or discharge to apply for the program, and there is a one-year limit to file any claims. To enroll in the CICP, you must be in need of medical care. Unlike an insurance program, you do not enroll in the program before you need to use it. When you need medical services, you will be tested for eligibility at your local hospital or clinic.
