The report also includes charts and interactive county maps showing enrollments, plan prices, and financial help by county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Making Health Insurance More Affordable and Accessible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enhanced financial help available via the Inflation Reduction Act kept the cost of staying covered under control. This year, 3 out of 5 customers could find a plan for $10 per month or less after Advance Premium Tax Credits were applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Colorado&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.colorado.gov\/insurance-products\/health-insurance\/health-insurance-initiatives\/health-insurance-affordability\">Health Insurance Affordability Enterprise<\/a> provided enhanced cost-sharing reductions to people shopping on the Marketplace. This year, the Enterprise expanded the eligibility criteria so that more people could receive the highest level of cost-sharing reductions. As a result,<strong> the number of people receiving these benefits doubled from last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Connect for Health Colorado&rsquo;s strategic goals is to advocate to improve access to coverage in rural areas of Colorado. Staying with a five-year trend, <strong>the majority of the largest increases in enrollments came from rural counties. <\/strong>However, urban counties like El Paso also saw an increase in enrollments as high as 25 percent over last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Impact of Expert Assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Health insurance Brokers and community-based Assisters are experts at helping customers understand and navigate their health insurance. This Open Enrollment, <strong>61 percent of customers signed up with the help of a Broker, and more than 7,000 customers were enrolled with the help of an Assister<\/strong>. Additionally, our Assisters had over 4,500 conversations related to health insurance literacy where they explained insurance terms, helped estimate health care-related costs, and discussed how to avoid delaying care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connect for Health Colorado also provides enrollment help at <a href=\"https:\/\/connectforhealthco.com\/enrollment-center\/\">51 Enrollment Centers across the state<\/a>. The local Brokers and Assisters staffing these locations build their businesses to meet the needs of residents, making each Enrollment Center a reflection of its community. This year, <strong>22 percent of all Marketplace customers enrolled in a plan at an Enrollment Center<\/strong>, and 84 percent of customers who enrolled at one received financial help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;This year&rsquo;s Open Enrollment data tells me that Connect for Health Colorado is succeeding in our efforts to expand access, affordability, and choice for Coloradans. We know we&rsquo;ve still got a way to go, but the report&rsquo;s findings illustrate that we are moving in the right direction,&rdquo; said Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Patterson. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m very proud to look back at our eleventh Open Enrollment and see that we&rsquo;re breaking our previous year&rsquo;s enrollment records, increasing efficiencies, improving the customer experience in major ways, and running innovative programs that truly drive affordability and enrollments.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more data about plan selection trends, average costs and savings by 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\/2024\/04\/01161503\/C4HCO_OEReport_Electronic_English_FINAL-4-24.pdf\"><em>By the Numbers End of Open Enrollment Report for Plan Year 2024<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opportunities to Enroll Now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&rsquo;s <span class=\"\"  data-mobile-support=\"0\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>Medicaid<\/span> program) coverage, losing health insurance from a job, and certain household changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free help is available year-round from certified Brokers and community-based Assisters.
