In May 2012, Colorado submitted a proposal to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) outlining its plan to integrate care for approximately 45,000 Coloradans who are fully eligible for Medicare and Medicaid and are not already participating in another recognized system that provides care coordination.
