We are a Colorado-based company, working to improve the health of our state. We care for individuals, families, and children who receive health care under Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) and Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program).

We are a mission-driven organization whose foundation is built by our vision, supported by our values and pillared by diversity, equity and inclusion.

  We offer PTO, floating holidays, nine company paid holidays, a hybrid work environment, an Employee Assistance Program and a 401K.

  We serve the underserved and most vulnerable populations in our community through access to quality and affordable health care. No matter what you do for Colorado Access, you are impacting our community and making a difference.
• Sharpen your skills, learn, and grow:
  We support your continued development through tuition reimbursement, leadership training, promotion opportunities, performance evaluations, employee recognition, and a language pay stipend.
