Move mirrors executive action by President Biden to ensure consumers can enroll amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denver<\/strong>\u2014 Today, President Joe Biden issued an Executive Order<\/a> that re-opens enrollment on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. While the order pertains to states that use the federal exchange, healthcare.gov, Colorado\u2019s exchange, Connect for Health Colorado<\/a> will mirror the order by re-opening enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coloradans without health insurance will be able to enroll in coverage through ConnectforHealthCO.com<\/a> between Feb. 8 – May 15, 2021<\/strong>. Health insurance coverage will begin on the first day of the month following plan selection. This Special Enrollment period is for people who are without health insurance and begins a week earlier than the federal exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Colorado, the annual Open Enrollment for individual health insurance (meaning not from an employer) ended on January 15th. Connect for Health Colorado reported<\/a> that nearly 180,000 Coloradans enrolled in 2021 coverage, which was around 8% higher than the enrollment figures for the previous year\u2019s Open Enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re-opening the exchanges is an effort to address the number of uninsured, and in particular help people who have lost their employer-based health insurance due to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorado Insurance Commissioner Michael Conway offered this statement in support of this effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am encouraged to see President Biden and his administration take action on this front, acknowledging the fact that so many remain without health insurance due to the continued impact of COVID-19. The Division of Insurance will work with Connect for Health Colorado to make sure this additional enrollment period works to help Coloradans get covered.\u201d   <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect for Health Colorado\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Kevin Patterson released the following statement in response to the Exchange reopening enrollment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased that we can offer another opportunity to help people protect their health and safety this year. Now is a great time to remind friends and neighbors who missed the Open Enrollment deadline that it\u2019s not too late to sign up and that help is available. I urge Coloradans who haven\u2019t enrolled yet to call us or visit our website to find free enrollment assistance near you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
