The Division is seeking comments on the following draft proposed emergency regulation:
The purpose of this emergency regulation is to require carriers to provide access to COVID-19 vaccines without cost-sharing as a covered preventive service.
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 allowing Individuals safe access to COVID-19 vaccines is imperative to preserve the health of the citizens of Colorado. Pursuant to CDPHE Public Health Order 25-01 and § 25-1.5.102, C.R.S., based upon the recent actions by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to limit access to the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as the clear evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine, taking actions to expand access to COVID-19 vaccines is necessary to enhance the protection of public health. Therefore, compliance with the requirements of § 24-4-103, C.R.S., would be contrary to the public interest.
Please submit your comments on this draft proposed emergency regulation no later than 5 PM, September 10, 2025 to DORA_INS_RulesandRecords@state.co.us.
This draft proposed emergency regulation, as well as other draft regulations and bulletins currently released for informal public comment, can be found on the Division's DRAFT Regulations and Bulletins for Informal Public Comment website.
