The Colorado Option
We worked hard to pass the Colorado Option, and now we’re working to ensure communities are aware of plans and financial assistance available to them. The Colorado Option plans are the first health care plans available to every Coloradan who buys insurance on the individual marketplace (not an employer), regardless of documentation status. Below you will find webinars, social media toolkits and resources, and resources for immigrant families.
Our 2024 Insurance Guide is out! The purpose of this guide is to help those who have enrolled in a Colorado Option plan through OmniSalud navigate the current health care system, learn about their benefits and rights, and how to dispute a medical bill. The guide is available in English as well as Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
