Changes to the Behavioral Health Program

Updated August 8, 2025

If you are a firefighter with an EMS certificate, you are eligible for additional behavioral health funding through Path4EMS. Details can be found by clicking here or visiting path4ems.org. Path4EMS is a state-funded program unaffiliated with the Colorado Firefighter Trust.
The Trustees for the Behavioral Health Program received notice that funding was not included in the Governor's final budget for continuation of this program, and that no additional funding will be provided by the Colorado legislature as of July 1, 2025. Because of the lack of funding moving forward, the Trust Committee will be making changes to the Coverage Plan Document for the Behavioral Health Program effective as of July 1, 2025 which will be posted to our website on that date.
Beginning on July 1, 2025, the available coverage benefit for the Behavioral Health Program will be adjusted to provide a covered individual a lifetime aggregate benefit of $1,000 for behavioral health services/reimbursement. This coverage limit will include all past, future, and existing claims for services being sought through this program.
Request for reimbursement for services received through June 30, 2025 will be honored under the current Behavioral Health Coverage Plan Document.
Thank you for your paitence as we navigate these changes. Please contact us with any questions you may have.
