(Connect for Health Colorado <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/more-than-212000-coloradans-signed-up-for-health-insurance-coverage-during-annual-enrollment-period\/\">released preliminary enrollment totals<\/a> from the Open Enrollment Period at the end of January.) This new report includes information such as average costs and enrollments by county and the significance of Broker and Assister enrollment assistance. <strong>Here are the highlights:<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Making Plans More Affordable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect for Health Colorado is the only place where residents can access financial help to cover monthly premiums and health care costs. The extension of enhanced financial help via the <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/president-biden-signs-the-inflation-reduction-act-into-law-keeping-health-insurance-premiums-affordable-for-more-than-200000-coloradans\/\">Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022<\/a> kept the cost of staying covered controlled for many customers. This year, the average premium for people who received financial help was $143. For people not receiving financial help, the average monthly premium was $412.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a third year, the Marketplace saw an increase in people choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/find-answers\/before-you-buy\/bronze-silver-gold-plans\/\">Gold-level plans<\/a>. Year over year, there was an 8-percentage point increase among those who qualify for financial help and a 10-percentage point increase for those who don\u2019t qualify for financial help.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Increasing Enrollments in Rural Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Connect for Health Colorado\u2019s strategic goals is to advocate to improve access to coverage in rural areas of the state. To support that effort, Connect for Health Colorado increased its enrollment assistance network in rural communities, with 26 of 51 Enrollment Center locations offered in rural communities and new sites added in Salida, Buena Vista and Durango.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying with a four-year trend, many of the largest increases in enrollments came from rural counties. The percentages of the population in these rural counties that enrolled through Connect for Health Colorado are comparable to more populous counties. For example, four percent of Kiowa County\u2019s population enrolled through Connect for Health Colorado \u2013 the same percentage as the more populous Jefferson County. For people in rural counties, the average premium with financial help applied was $130.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Providing Expert Assistance in Your Community<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect for Health Colorado&#8217;s certified Brokers continue to be integral partners in keeping Coloradans covered. In fact, the majority of customers enrolling in health insurance through the Marketplace, 62 percent, did so with the guidance of a Broker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certified Enrollment Assisters also provide crucial support to residents, especially those who face barriers to health care coverage. More than 50 percent of all completed appointments with Assisters were with customers who were uninsured for at least two months before their appointment, and over 40 percent of all completed appointments with Assisters were in Spanish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enrollment Centers maintained their role as important footholds in small, rural communities and larger cities. In total, nearly 46,000 Coloradans enrolled in Marketplace coverage at an Enrollment Center, and 82 percent of them received financial help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find more data about plan selection trends, average costs and savings in your county, Colorado Option plans, outreach and marketing strategies to reach eligible Coloradans and more in the <a href=\"https:\/\/c4-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/31121205\/By-the-Numbers-final-OE10.pdf\">By the Numbers End of Open Enrollment Report for Plan Year 2023<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opportunities to Enroll Now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People can enroll in health insurance now if they have a <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/get-started\/when-can-i-buy-insurance\/\">qualifying life event<\/a>, such as losing Health First Colorado (Colorado\u2019s Medicaid program) coverage, losing health insurance from your job and certain household changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free help is available year-round from certified Brokers and community-based Assisters.
