The Division is seeking comments on the following draft new regulations:
The purpose of this regulation is to establish the data reporting requirements for carriers concerning the coverage of medication-assisted treatment as required by § 10-16-710, C.R.S. This regulation applies to all carriers marketing and issuing or renewing health benefit plans in the individual, small group and large group markets in Colorado, including non-grandfathered plans, short-term limited duration health insurance policies, and student health insurance coverage, on or after the effective date of this regulation. This regulation does not apply to limited benefit plans, as defined in § 10-16-102(32)(b), C.R.S., and exclusions for coverage of specific mandated benefits as found at § 10-16-104(1.4), C.R.S.
The purpose of this regulation is to establish the process by which the Health Insurance Affordability Enterprise will assess and collect the Health Insurance Affordability Fee annually from carriers, pursuant to § 10-16-1205(1)(a)(I), C.R.S. This regulation applies to all carriers that issue health benefit plans in the state, including all carriers offering individual, small group, and large group plans subject to the insurance laws of Colorado. It will replace Emergency Regulation 21-E-01, which went into effect on February 5, 2021; the only changes have been the removal of the emergency language and justification.
The Division is requesting informal comments be submitted to DORA_INS_RulesandRecords@state.co.us no later than 5 PM, February 23, 2021.
