I\u2019m genuinely in awe of how far we\u2019ve come as an organization since I came on board, which was shortly after the end of the very first Open Enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/colorados-health-insurance-marketplace-finishes-open-enrollment-with-more-than-237000-sign-ups-a-new-record\/\">reported yesterday<\/a> that 237,107 people have enrolled in a 2024 health insurance plan. That is about 18 percent higher than last year\u2019s end of Open Enrollment total of 201,758 enrollments and is our biggest enrollment period&#8211; ever. Also a record high, 77 percent of customers are receiving financial help to reduce premiums.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, 12,485 people enrolled in a health insurance plan through Colorado Connect. (As a reminder, that\u2019s our public benefit corporation and online platform we launched last year.) That brings our end of Open Enrollment total across both of our shopping platforms to <strong>nearly 250,000 lives covered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, our data teams will be conducting an in-depth analysis of enrollment data. We will publish a report with more information and findings this spring. And while the Open Enrollment Period has closed for 2024 coverage, people can still enroll if they have a <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/get-started\/when-can-i-buy-insurance\/\">qualifying life event<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connecting with Community Partners &amp; Policymakers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last Friday, I attended the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlkbusinessawards.org\/\">Martin Luther King Jr. Business Awards<\/a> luncheon. It was a pleasure to connect with business and community leaders and to sponsor an event that honors exemplary social responsibility. As a reminder, you can request for Connect for Health Colorado to <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/about-us\/request-a-sponsorship\/\">sponsor events<\/a> in your community. We see sponsorships as a vital piece of our outreach strategy. I know that that, while we&#8217;ve made great strides, there&#8217;s still plenty of folks who don&#8217;t know what \u00abConnect for Health Colorado\u00bb is and what we do. So, as we like to say here, we\u2019re about meeting people where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday, I presented to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.state.co.us\/pubs\/newsRoom\/SMART-Act\/index.html\">SMART Act<\/a> committee about our organization, our accomplishments this Open Enrollment Period, and our efforts to make it a success. It was my pleasure to speak to and answer questions from the committee. I look forward to strengthening our relationships with these policymakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Annual Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recently published the <a href=\"https:\/\/c4-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/12131128\/C4HCO_2023_AnnualReport_FINAL.pdf\">2023 Annual Report for Connect for Health Colorado<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/c4-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19095427\/PBC-Annual-Report-2023-Letterhead-final-1-18-2024.pdf\">2023 Annual Report for Colorado Connect<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take care,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Patterson, MURP, MPA<br>Chief Executive Officer<br>Connect for Health Colorado<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The close of business Wednesday marked the end of our eleventh Open Enrollment Period and my tenth at the helm of Connect for Health Colorado.
