Simplified: Your Health Care Provider Portal

This month’s updates focus on reducing noise and supporting accurate, efficient workflows:

• Fewer Unnecessary Notifications
  FAMLI will no longer send a separate email for each claim certification. You will now only receive notices for completed certifications. 
  All completed certifications remain easy to find anytime in your MyFAMLI+ portal.

• Clearer Information Management
  Based on your feedback, you’ll now see a confirmation pop-up whenever a practice address is removed from your profile. This prevents accidental deletions and helps ensure your practice information stays accurate.

When you can, shape our future updates via our quick HCP Portal Survey. 

In the Know: Neonatal Care Leave

Thank you to the many providers who helped shape Colorado’s new Neonatal Care Leave rules. Your input ensures this first-of-its-kind benefit works for families and for the neonatal teams who care for them.

What You Need To Know:

• Entry and Discharge Paperwork
  Parents will need to provide documentation of an infant entering and leaving the NICU. Standard admission paperwork works; so does the new Neonatal Care Certification (NCC) Form, which parents can download from their My FAMLI+ portal. 

• Ending Bonding/Pregnancy Claims Beforehand
  Parents with existing FAMLI bonding or pregnancy leave claims may need to close those claims before starting Neonatal Care Leave. Sharing this early can help families avoid delays.

Evidence of Impact: Colorado Ranked Best State for Families

Your impact continues to grow 

This past month, the Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center ranked Colorado #1 in the nation for resources available to families with young children — and FAMLI was specifically cited as a key reason why. 

Research published in the Policy Impact Center’s 2025 State Resources Report determined that Colorado has the smallest percentage of households reporting childhood food insecurity. We also rank highly in terms of:

• percentage of children under 3 whose mothers report fair or poor mental health 

• percentage of children who receive developmental screening

• percentage of children living in poverty

Every FAMLI referral you make during times of crisis contribute directly to these health and economic outcomes. 

Thank you for making this program what it is today, and what it is becoming. 

Read the report below — and see how your small acts of care are making a world of difference.
