| Statutory Authority |
This emergency regulation is promulgated and adopted by the Commissioner of Insurance under the authority of §§ 10-1-108(7), 10-1-109, 10-16-109, 10-16-708, C.R.S., and the Governor’s Executive Order D 2020-003 declaring the presence of COVID-19 in Colorado a disaster emergency and extensions of that declaration, most recently with Executive Order D 2020-152. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
In light of the COVID-19 public health emergency crisis, the purpose of this emergency regulation is to require carriers to provide covered persons with treatment related to COVID-19. This emergency regulation also ensures that out-of-network providers rendering emergency services for emergency medical conditions, including but not limited to COVID-19, are appropriately compensated pursuant to § 10-16-704(5.5), C.R.S., without delay. This regulation shall remain in effect for 120 days or during any period in which a disaster declaration is in effect in the state of Colorado due to the presence of COVID-19, whichever is shorter. |
| Comments |
The Division of Insurance finds, pursuant to § 24-4-103(6)(a), C.R.S., that immediate adoption of this regulation is imperatively necessary for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare as allowing individuals safe access to healthcare services and ensuring facilities have adequate resources and availability to treat COVID-19 patients is imperative to preserve the health of the citizens of Colorado. Therefore, compliance with the requirements of § 24-4-103, C.R.S., would be contrary to the public interest. |
