How to get started

Services are paid for by Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) through your waiver or program. Here is how it usually works.

    Your Case Management Agency helps you find out which services you qualify for. Not sure who yours is? Contact us and we'll help point you in the right direction.

  2. Choose Brightlight Care

    Tell your case manager you'd like Brightlight Care as your provider. You always get to choose.

  3. Meet with us

    We get to know you, what you enjoy, and what you want to work on, and we plan your support together.
