DENVER, CO \u2013<\/strong> Between Nov. 15 and Jan. 15, more than 171,000 Coloradans enrolled in healthcare coverage for 2015, either in Medicaid, Child Health Plan Plus<\/em> (CHP+) or in private health insurance purchased through the state health insurance Marketplace, according to new data released today by Connect for Health Colorado\u00ae and the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to urge anyone who hasn\u2019t done it yet to take the important step in protecting their families\u2019 health and their financial security by purchasing health insurance coverage,\u201d said Gary Drews, Connect for Health Colorado Interim CEO. \u201cWe can help qualifying individuals and families save on the cost of their coverage but only if they act now. There is less than a month left to choose your coverage. Open enrollment ends on February 15th<\/sup>.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Anyone who does not have health insurance provided through their employer should apply before Feb. 15, 2015,<\/strong> to sign up for private health insurance through Connect for Health Colorado.  Only those experiencing certain life change events \u2013 such as losing a job, moving to Colorado, adopting a child or having a child \u2013 will be able to enroll in private coverage for 2015 after that date.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coloradans eligible for no- or low-cost coverage through Medicaid and CHP+ have no deadlines and can apply year-round.<\/p>\n

During the first eight weeks of open enrollment, 121,650 people enrolled in private coverage through Connect for Health Colorado and 47,724 in Medicaid and 2,272 in CHP+.  Connect for Health Colorado also enrolled 20,580 individuals in dental plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enrollments in Medicaid and Connect for Health Colorado show that Coloradans are attuned to the importance of having health insurance coverage,\u201d said Susan Birch, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. \u201cWhether Coloradans have health insurance coverage through private insurance or through Medicaid, health coverage is the first step to better health.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Connect for Health Colorado
\n<\/strong>Connect for Health Colorado is a public, non-profit entity established in law by the Colorado General Assembly in 2011 to create a health insurance Marketplace.  It opened for business on Oct. 1, 2013 for individuals, families and small employers to compare and buy health insurance and apply for tax credits to help make their insurance more affordable. Customers can shop online; get help by phone or chat from expert Customer Service Center representatives; and find in-person assistance from certified brokers and agents, community based certified Health Coverage Guides or Certified Application Counselors. In 2014, the Marketplace enrolled more than 148,000 Coloradans in private insurance and helped nearly 100,000 gain access to new tax credits that made their health coverage more affordable \u2013 all while keeping fees among the lowest in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
