Student Insurance

Littleton Public Schools has selected the Student Insurance Plan from UnitedHealthcare to make reliable coverage available to parents. If you don't have other insurance, this plan may be a resource to consider. Additionally, even if you have other coverage this plan can fill expensive "gaps" caused by deductibles and co-pays. Coverage may be purchased at any time during the school year by visiting  www.studentinsurance-kk.com.

Planning for the end of Continuous Coverage for Health First Colorado (Medicaid)

Health First Colorado (Medicaid) and CHP+ will return to normal eligibility renewal processes with renewals due in May and noticing beginning in March 2023. The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) will take 12 months to complete renewals.

If you are currently enrolled in Medicaid you should:

  • Update your contact information so you can be reached
  • Respond to and sign renewal paperwork to make sure you keep your Medicaid coverage if you are still eligible
