The Division is seeking comments on the following draft proposed bulletin:
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information to consumers regarding the requirements of HB 22-1289 to provide notice to pregnant individuals eligible for a new Special Enrollment Period (SEP) beginning on January 1, 2024. HB 22-1289 establishes a new triggering event for a SEP when an individual who does not have existing creditable coverage receives certification from a health care provider acting within the provider’s scope of practice that the individual is pregnant. Coverage is deemed effective as of the first month in which the individual receives certification of the pregnancy, unless the individual elects to have coverage effective on the first day of the month following the date that the individual makes a plan selection.
This bulletin is being updated to include requirements related to the notice required by carriers enrolling individuals off-Exchange.
The Division is requesting comments be submitted no later than 5 PM, November 30, 2023, to DORA_INS_RulesandRecords@state.co.us.
