Our mission
MedicareColorado.com was created with a simple goal: make Medicare easier to understand for Colorado residents. Medicare is one of the most important decisions you'll make as you approach or enter retirement, and the information landscape is often confusing, outdated, or biased toward selling a specific product.
We believe everyone deserves access to clear, accurate, and unbiased Medicare information — organized specifically for the state of Colorado, with the local context that national sites often miss.
What we do
- Educate — We publish comprehensive guides on every part of Medicare, updated annually with the latest costs, rules, and enrollment dates.
- Localize — Our content focuses on Colorado-specific programs like Health First Colorado (Medicaid), the Colorado SHIP program, state Medigap rules, and local Social Security office locations.
- Connect — We help Colorado residents find licensed Medicare agents and plan comparison tools so they can make informed decisions.
We are not a government website
MedicareColorado.com is a privately operated website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to:
- Medicare
- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
- The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
- The Social Security Administration (SSA)
- Any other federal, state, or local government agency
For official Medicare information, visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
Important: We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local SHIP program (1-888-696-7213) for help with plan choices.
How we earn revenue
Transparency matters to us. Here's how this site operates financially:
- This website contains links to MedicareAgents.com and PlanMatch.com, which connect Medicare beneficiaries with licensed insurance agents and plan comparison tools.
- We may receive compensation when visitors use these services.
- Our editorial content is not influenced by these relationships. We do not recommend specific plans or carriers.
- Licensed Medicare agents are compensated by insurance carriers, not by the beneficiaries they help. Their assistance is free to you.
Editorial standards
- Accuracy — We source our information from CMS, Medicare.gov, the Social Security Administration, and the Colorado Division of Insurance. Cost figures and dates are updated annually.
- Objectivity — We present Medicare options without recommending specific plans, carriers, or paths. We explain the trade-offs so you can decide.
- Accessibility — We write at a reading level appropriate for our audience, avoid unnecessary jargon, and maintain an 18px minimum body text size for readability.
- Currency — All cost figures, IRMAA brackets, and enrollment dates reflect the current plan year. Pages are clearly labeled with the applicable year (e.g., "2026 costs").
