Consumer Advocates Say State Policies Continue to Control Health Insurance Rate Increases
Today, the Colorado Division of Insurance released the final approved rates for the state’s healthcare insurance companies that show state rate review efforts — and the Colorado Option — are keeping rate increases lower. Still, the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative is frustrated that insurance carriers continue increasing prices on consumers rather than cutting or controlling their own costs.
Colorado Department Releases Report on Hidden “Facility Fees”
Colorado’s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing released the Hospital Facility Fee Report, confirming what Coloradans have been experiencing over the past several years – that hospitals and their providers have been adding unnecessary fees to patient visits that drive up costs.
Colorado Report Reveals Healthcare Inequities and Healthcare Illiteracy
Today, the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative (CCHI) released two more reports on health equity and literacy from Healthcare Value Hub’s Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey (CHESS). While affordability is a major barrier to care for all Coloradans, according to the survey, lack of affordability disproportionately affects people of color and people with disabilities more than others.
