The Division is seeking comments on the following draft emergency regulation:
In light of the COVID-19 public health emergency crisis, the purpose of this emergency regulation is to require carriers to provide covered persons with treatment related to COVID-19 and access to COVID-19 vaccines without cost-sharing. This emergency regulation also ensures that out-of-network providers rendering emergency services for emergency medical conditions, including but not limited to COVID-19, are appropriately compensated pursuant to § 10-16-704(5.5), C.R.S., without delay. This regulation shall remain in effect for 120 days or during any period in which a disaster declaration is in effect in the state of Colorado due to the presence of COVID-19, whichever is shorter.
This emergency regulation is being considered for adoption as it adds coverage of COVID-19 vaccines without cost-sharing to the prior emergency regulation, and to align with the most recent Public Health Order.
The Division is requesting informal comments be submitted to DORA_INS_RulesandRecords@state.co.us no later than 5 PM, December 21, 2020.
This draft revised bulletin, as well as other draft bulletins currently released for informal public comment, can be found on our page for Draft Regulations and Bulletins for Informal Comments.
