DENVER \u2014 <\/strong>Between Nov.1 and Nov. 29, more than 46,000<\/strong> Coloradans enrolled in health coverage for 2016, either in private health insurance purchased through the state health insurance Marketplace or in Medicaid, or Child Health Plan Plus<\/em> (CHP+), according to new data released today by Connect for Health Colorado\u00ae and the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe steady enrollment gains that we have seen during first month of Open Enrollment are very encouraging,\u201d said Connect for Health Colorado\u00ae CEO Kevin Patterson.  \u201cBut now we have just two short weeks to complete enrollment before December 15<\/strong> \u2013 the deadline for coverage to take effect on January 1.<\/strong> I encourage anyone who has not signed up to do it today. Going to our website to find free, in-person help is a great way to start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether you are renewing or enrolling for the first time, you must complete enrollment by December 15,<\/strong> to have coverage January 1<\/strong>, and avoid a gap in your coverage. Open Enrollment runs through January 31. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Open Enrollment began November 1.  During the first month, 30,777<\/strong> people enrolled in private health care coverage through Connect for Health Colorado\u00ae. In addition, the coverage gains include 14,599 in Medicaid and 650 in CHP+.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to see so many Coloradans enrolling in health coverage for themselves and their families,\u201d said Sue Birch, MBA, BSN, RN,  executive director, Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. \u201cWe especially encourage our new members to get preventive care, such as a flu shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
