Do You Or Your Family Need Health Insurance? Our Health Care Guides are here to Help!

Tri-County Health Network’s trained Health Coverage Guides (HCGs) can help you enroll or renew your coverage through Health First Colorado (Medicaid), CHP+ (Child Health Plan Plus), or Connect for Health Colorado (Marketplace).
Call Tri-County Health Network at 970-708-7096 or Email enrollment@tchnetwork.org to schedule an appointment.
