“In 2013, Connect for Health Colorado created the Assistance Network with federal funding under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and funding from the Colorado Health Foundation. The Assistance Network funded Health Coverage Guides (HCGs) to provide marketplace related outreach, education, and enrollment assistance at Assistance Sites across the state. As of July 1, 2015, federal funding for state-based marketplace assistance programs ended. As a result, the Assistance Network’s funding was reduced to $3 million from $16.5 million.The Assistance Network now comprises of 27 organizations and approximately 74 HCGs. In addition, 124 Certified Application Counselor (CACs) organizations with approximately 296 CACs throughout the state are also available to provide marketplace related enrollment assistance. To see how funding was distributed regionally and for a list of CAC organizations, click here. See a complete list of funded Assistance Sites here.
The CAC Program is an unfunded initiative that establishes designated organizations as Connect for Health Colorado certified partners that help clients with enrolling in subsidized private insurance through the marketplace. Organizations interested in becoming a CAC site should contact CACprogram@connectforhealthco.com.” [Source: Connect for Health Colorado]
