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

DENVER <\/strong>\u2013 The state\u2019s 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\u2019s total marketplace enrollments for the 2022 coverage year to nearly 205,000; a milestone that Connect for Health Colorado didn\u2019t see until July last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just days after closing this year\u2019s 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\u2019s 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

\u201cThe sustained level of enrollments tells me there\u2019s 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\u2019 needs,\u201d said Connect for Health Colorado\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Kevin Patterson. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for affordable health insurance options, I encourage you to contact us today. We\u2019ll figure out which Special Enrollment Period you can use and connect you to application assistance as you need it.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
