Early Intervention Colorado services are paid for through a variety of funding sources including Medicaid, CHP+, private health insurance, and/or State and Federal Part C funds.

Early Intervention providers are encouraged to bill these funding sources in order to contract with a local Early Intervention program/CCB. Under some circumstances providers may be able to still provide Early Intervention services if they do not bill on their own. Each local Early Intervention program/CCB can provide information on billing State and Federal Part C funds.

Early Intervention Services Trust (EIST) has an updated process that allows the Southern District Accounting Office (SDA) to fully manage the program for which they have oversight and will relieve CCBs and local Early Intervention programs of the burden of data entry in relation to children covered under the EIST.
