The Division would like to notify interested stakeholders that the Commissioner of Insurance has adopted the following emergency regulation:
The purpose of this emergency regulation is to require carriers to cover the costs of patient transfers between facilities during the state’s COVID-19 recovery.
The Division of Insurance finds, pursuant to § 24-4-103(6)(a), C.R.S., that immediate adoption of this regulation is imperatively necessary for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare as ensuring facilities have adequate resources and availability to treat COVID-19 patients is imperative to preserve the health of the citizens of Colorado. Therefore, compliance with the requirements of § 24-4-103, C.R.S., would be contrary to the public interest.
This emergency regulation, and other Division emergency regulations, can be found on the Division's Emergency Regulations page.
