Connect for Health Colorado Updates

  • “The New York Times’ data-driven feature, The Upshot, went a long way toward answering how many of us is how many people who were uninsured last year have gained coverage this year. See how your county (or any U.S. county) is doing here.
  • Competition is already having a big effect on the health insurance market in Colorado as we head into our second open enrollment period. While the average cost of Marketplace plans for individuals and families increased less than one percent this year, some premiums went way down. That includes plans used in calculating financial assistance in most areas of the state. One of our staff explains what it means in this interview on KREX TV or, if you would like a written account, see Health News Colorado.
  • We are in the process of sending renewal notices. The notices are tailored to individual customers with their 2015 premium and tax credit information but we are urging everyone to review their options carefully and to understand that lower premiums can mean higher costs if they receive care. It’s important to review deductibles and out-of-pocket costs when choosing a plan.” [Source: Connect for Health Colorado]
