Podiatry HOME
Welcome to the Podiatry Homepage
The Colorado Podiatry Board was instituted as part of the Podiatrists Practice Act in order to regulate the practice of podiatry in Colorado. The Board ensures that licensed professionals are acting in accordance with the standards of care as outlined in the Podiatrists Practice Act. Licensure is mandatory to practice podiatric medicine or perform podiatric surgery in Colorado or to treat Colorado patients.
The Podiatry Board is a Type I Board, meaning that it is policy autonomous and made up of professional and public members (four podiatrists and one public member). The decisions made by the Podiatry Board are not subject to administrative review. The Podiatry Board does not have the authority to arbitrate or adjudicate fee disputes.
The Colorado Office of Policy, Research and Regulatory Reform is currently conducting a sunset review of the Colorado Podiatry Board. Analysis is performed to determine if the Board is necessary and should be continued, modified, or repealed. To provide input on this review, please visit COPRRR's website.

State Podiatry Board - Requesting Written Stakeholder Comments
What is this about?
The Colorado State Podiatry Board is proposing revisions to Rule 1.20 - CONCERNING HEALTH CARE PROVIDER DISCLOSURES TO CONSUMERS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF RECEIVING EMERGENCY OR NONEMERGENCY SERVICES FROM AN OUT-OF-NETWORK PROVIDER and APPENDIX B – YOUR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AGAINST SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS. The purpose of the proposed rules is to establish requirements for health-care providers to disclose to covered persons who are utilizing a health benefit plan about the potential of “balance billing” when receiving 1) post-stabilization services or 2) covered non-emergency services from an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility. Please submit written comments by August 22, 2025 in order for your comments to be considered before the public rulemaking hearing scheduled for Friday, September 5, 2025, at 9:00 A.M. Written comments will be posted on the website under the "Public Notices" tab as received for all stakeholders to access and review.
