Uninsured Residents Can Enroll in Health Coverage Now<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DENVER <\/strong>– The state’s official health insurance marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado, reports that more than 6,000 Coloradans have signed up for a health insurance plan since the annual enrollment period closed mid-January using Special Enrollment Periods; about 1,000 enrollments per week. That brings Colorado’s total marketplace enrollments for the 2022 coverage year to nearly 205,000; a milestone that Connect for Health Colorado didn’t see until July last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just days after closing this year’s regular annual health insurance enrollment period, Connect for Health Colorado announced it was re-opening<\/a> for uninsured residents who had been impacted by the Marshall Fire or by the COVID-19 pandemic to sign up for health insurance. This is the third year that Colorado’s health insurance marketplace has opened Special Enrollment Periods for uninsured residents.  Residents can use this Disaster Relief Special Enrollment Period<\/a> through Wednesday, March 16th<\/sup>. Additionally, if uninsured residents check a box on their state tax return<\/a>, they might also be eligible to enroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The sustained level of enrollments tells me there’s an ongoing need for Coloradans to feel that their health and finances are protected in these times; we opened this Disaster Relief Special Enrollment Period to respond to our communities’ needs,” said Connect for Health Colorado’s Chief Executive Officer Kevin Patterson. “If you’re looking for affordable health insurance options, I encourage you to contact us today. We’ll figure out which Special Enrollment Period you can use and connect you to application assistance as you need it.»<\/p>\n\n\n\n
