Many Coloradans gained protections from surprise bills under 2019 legislation we passed. However, not all Coloradans could benefit from these protections because some insurance plans are not regulated in our state (they are regulated federally). Late in 2020, Congress passed the Federal No Surprises Act to protect patients under all insurance plans. There are aspects of the state and federal laws that, when combined, could create confusion or leave some consumers without the protections they need.

That’s why this year, CCHI is working on a bill to align and ensure strong surprise billing protections between the state and federal laws for consumers.

Thousands of Coloradans are buying products they’ve been led to believe are health insurance. These products aren’t actually insurance and often leave consumers with extreme debt and no recourse. Join us to ensure that Coloradans have fair consumer protections and can make informed decisions about signing up for health care cost-sharing arrangements!
