We have been talking with stakeholders, including the state Division of Insurance, and expect a decision soon.
- Our second Open Enrollment period had closed only five days earlier when the federal department of Health and Human Services last Friday issued the rule which includes the dates for the 2016 Open Enrollment. It will run from Nov. 1, 2015, through Jan. 31, 2016. You can find more details here.
- The state House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee on Thursday voted down a bill that would have increased legislative oversight of Connect for Health Colorado.
