Resources for the Uninsured

Clinica Colorado: In response to the growing COVID-19 outbreak in our state, Clinica Colorado is offering NO COST virtual visits via phone or video call through April 30, especially for the uninsured. This service allows patients to receive the medical care they deserve, while maintaining the safety of all patients, families, staff, and the community.

• Phone: 720.443.8461
• Website: Make an appointment at clinicacolorado.org
• Address: 8300 Alcott St., Suite 300, Westminster, CO 80031

We are not affiliated in any way with Clinica Family Services or their locations. We are a separate clinic that specifically focuses on the uninsured, as there are other community health centers that do take new Medicaid patients. 

Determining Eligibility for Medicaid: Medicaid may be available to working adults or their children under limited circumstances:

• Adults or children eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability benefits are eligible for full Medicaid benefits. To be eligible for SSI one must be over age 65 or blind or disabled. 
• Single- and two-parent families with a total income of 30% of the Federal Poverty Level are eligible for full Medicaid benefits. In addition to the income requirement, the family is allowed one car and a primary home. $90 for each working adult in the household is exempted from the total, as well as all childcare expenses. A savings or checking account with up to $2,000 in assets is exempted.
• Children in families with incomes no greater than 100% of the Federal Poverty Level may be eligible for full Medicaid benefits. The family may have assets totaling no more than $1,000, including a vehicle. The first $1,500 of a vehicle’s value, however, is exempt from the total, as is the primary home.
• Children under 6 years old may be eligible for full Medicaid benefits if they live in a household with income at or below 133% of Federal Poverty Level.
• Pregnant women at 133% or below of Federal Poverty Level may be eligible for Medicaid benefits throughout the pregnancy. Women qualifying in this category will be eligible through the 60th post-partum day.
• Children born to women on Medicaid are eligible for Medicaid benefits through the first year of life, and are not subject to means-testing. Children who qualify in this category will be automatically enrolled.
• Undocumented or legal aliens in the United States for less than 5 years may qualify for emergency assistance only.
• Families formerly eligible for Medicaid but losing eligibility through employment status are eligible for 12 months of Medicaid as long as total household income remains at or below 185% of Federal Poverty Level.
