To: All Licensed Facility Stakeholders
From: Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division (HFEMSD)
The HFEMSD has recently held a series of Stakeholder Forum meetings to discuss a model for sustainable licensing funding to support the regulatory work the division is statutorily charged with.
It has been a number of years since the division has requested fee increases and as a consequence, the present budget is insufficient to support the ongoing work of the division.
Historically the division has increased fees through individual provider group stakeholder negotiations followed by formal requests for adoption of new fees through the Board of Health. Additional increases have also periodically occurred with small incremental increases which were capped under the Denver, Aurora, Lakewood consumer price index (CPI).
The path for future funding is geared towards a more sustainable and predictable path for ongoing funding through a balance of recurring annual facility licensure fees offset by continued general fund support.
The HFEMSD is requesting your assistance with the gathering of data from all licensed healthcare industries through this POLL
Closing Date of the survey is Friday June 30, 2023 at 5pm.
This data will be used to respond to the State legislature with regard to the HFEMSD sustainable funding plan. HFEMSD appreciates your time, partnership and feedback for this important conversation.
