Connect for Health Colorado Updates

• “We presented our annual report to the Joint Health and Human Services Committee of the state Legislature on Thursday. The calendar year report comes in the middle of our open enrollment period so we plan another next month that will capture all of this open enrollment period. In the meantime, you might want to see how we fared in 2015. All our annual reports are available online.
• Enrollment in health plans for 2016 went past 139,000 by January 15 and dental plan enrollments exceeded 23,000. Those totals are well above where we were on the same date last year and we put the information out in press releases this week.
• We are about to mail thousands of Form 1095-As to our customers to assist them with their taxes. The form is needed to verify coverage and to reconcile tax credits for customers who got them. What’s new this year is households with a member on Medicaid or CHP+ will get Form 1095-B. So will those covered by Medicare,Tricare or any other public program other than Connect for Health Colorado. Those with employer-sponsored coverage will get Form 1095-C. Many households, depending on their coverage, will receive multiple forms. Advise them to keep all of them. Our customers will be mailed forms by January 31 and electronic copies will be available in the My Documents portion of their online accounts.” [Source: Connect for Health Colorado]
