Notice of Adoption of Emergency Regulation 20-E-02 - Concerning Establishing a COVID-19 Related Special Enrollment Period for Enrollment in an Individual Health Benefit Plan

 

The Division would like to notify interested stakeholders that the Commissioner of Insurance has adopted the following emergency regulation:

Emergency Regulation 20-E-02 - Concerning Establishing a COVID-19 Related Special Enrollment Period for Enrollment in an Individual Health Benefit Plan

The purpose of this emergency regulation is to allow for a special enrollment period (SEP) that allows enrollment in an individual health benefit plan for a period of fifteen (15) days beginning March 20, 2020 until April 3, 2020.

The Division of Insurance finds, pursuant to § 24-4-103(6)(a), C.R.S., that immediate adoption of this regulation is imperatively necessary for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare because allowing individuals not currently enrolled in health benefit plans in Colorado to enroll in a health benefit plan in order to receive coverage for COVID-19-related testing and care is imperative to preserve the health of the citizens of Colorado. Therefore, compliance with the requirements of § 24-4-103, C.R.S., would be contrary to the public interest.

This emergency regulation, and other Division emergency regulations, can be found on the Divisions website via the following link.
