To Our Valued Stakeholders,

This week, Governor Polis and the Division of Insurance announced preliminary rates for our customers for plan year 2022. I shared that I am pleased to see the stability in prices, as affordable premiums translate to more people enrolling and staying enrolled. This is good news in a year when so many people have been affected by the pandemic. There’s more to come on the upcoming Open Enrollment Period.

In the meantime, we still have a few weeks left to get Coloradans enrolled for the rest of 2021. We will close our doors for the current extended enrollment period on Aug. 15 for 2021 health plans, as we shift toward final preparations for our upcoming Open Enrollment Period.

So to get the word out, we have been working hard to remind people of the deadline through outreach, sponsoring events around the state, such as family day at the Pueblo County Fair today, and you might even spot an ad if you stream the Olympics!

With the extra financial help available now, thank you for helping us remind anyone without insurance to enroll before Aug. 15.

To Our Valued Stakeholders,

Spring is officially upon us. And it’s quite a busy time.

With the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 officially in place, we are working with the state Division of Insurance and our staff to get ready to implement all of the changes the Plan lays out.

We will be ready in the coming months to roll out the Advanced Premium Tax Credit changes, making premiums even more affordable. As we approach the relaunch of our system, we will continue to share more information about how both current customers and new customers can apply for the additional financial help.  

We are also following the federal marketplace and keeping our doors open until at least Aug. 15, 2021 to help as many people as possible enroll and protect their health and finances during this time. Read more in a statement I made this week.  

Thank you for continuing to remind those who are uninsured that they can enroll now.
