Open Enrollment Six on the Calendar

Kids are going back to school, a few stray yellow leaves are appearing in Colorado high country and as of Friday (August 17), we are 75 days from the November 1 start of Open Enrollment. The state Division of Insurance has published a draft regulation for public comment that sets the closing date for January 15, 2019. You can find it deep in that document, in Section 7.

November doesn’t feel so far away any more. We’re working hard on our new eligibility system and will be ready to welcome new and renewing customers by the first.

In the News

Colorado got a favorable mention this week in a Governing magazine article about state marketplaces where there are signs of premium stabilization, even with continued political uncertainty. We are among eight states the Kaiser Family Foundation found with at least one health insurance company asking to reduce premiums in preliminary filings.
