| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of this emergency regulation is to require carriers to provide covered persons impacted by the Marshall and Middle Fork fires with access to durable medical equipment (DME) and prescription drugs without a requirement for prior authorization. |
| Comments |
On December 30, 2021, the Marshall and Middle Fork Fires - the most devastating fires in Colorado history - damaged or destroyed more than 1,000 residential and commercial structures. This emergency regulation is necessary to provide protections to covered persons impacted by the Marshall and Middle Fork fires and to provide immediate access to durable medical equipment and prescription drugs without a requirement for prior authorization.
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 of those individuals impacted by the fires to ensure access to necessary healthcare services. Therefore, compliance with the requirements of § 24-4-103, C.R.S., would be contrary to the public interest. |
