About 69% of Connect for Health Colorado customers are likely to qualify for financial help; free expert assistance is available statewide.
COLORADO – Open enrollment for 2027 health insurance is underway, and Connect for Health Colorado is encouraging customers to shop, compare plans and explore available financial help before choosing coverage.
Why it Matters: The Colorado Division of Insurance announced in September that health insurance premiums for 2027 will rise by an average of 10% for customers in the individual market. Connect for Health Colorado does not set health insurance rates.
But higher premiums do not necessarily mean a customer’s current plan will be their most affordable option. About 69% of Connect for Health Colorado customers are likely to qualify for financial help. Among customers who receive financial help, about 60% could find a plan for $10 or less per month, and 3 out of 4 could find a plan for $75 or less per month if they shop and compare.
Certified, community-based Assisters and licensed health insurance Brokers are also available at no cost to help customers understand their options, apply for financial help and enroll. Support is available in every Colorado county and in more than 22 languages.

- Customers who enroll by Dec. 15 will have coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2027.
