Record number of Coloradans enrolled during the annual enrollment period<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DENVER<\/strong>— In a report released today<\/a>, the state’s official health insurance marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado<\/a>, attributes record enrollments this past Open Enrollment Period to federal and state policy changes making health coverage more affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect for Health Colorado offered health insurance savings to thousands more customers thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021<\/a>, which gave people more premium tax credit assistance, and Colorado’s Health Insurance Affordability Enterprise<\/a>, which ran a program to give people more healthcare discounts when they use their plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of the Open Enrollment Period in January, nearly 200,000 Coloradans had signed up for a health insurance plan<\/a> that provides coverage in 2022; the soonest Connect for Health Colorado has ever hit this enrollment milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, since the enrollment period ended mid-January, an additional 9,787 people have signed up for a health plan using a Special Enrollment Period<\/a>. That means Connect for Health Colorado has enrolled more people this year than in any previous year of our operation.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since we know that cost is a barrier to getting covered, I’m pleased that the substantial increase in savings resulted in more people enrolling than ever before,” said Chief Executive Officer Kevin Patterson. “The record number of enrollments we’re seeing is also a testament to customer service and system improvements and the diligent work of our statewide enrollment assistance network.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
