§§ 10-1-108(7), 10-1-109(1), 10-16-104(18)(b)(X), (f), and 10-16-109, C.R.S. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of this emergency regulation is to require carriers to cover, without cost sharing, the cost of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunizations and administration.
On June 21, 2023, the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended coverage of the RSV vaccine for persons 60 years and over. On August 3, 2023, the ACIP recommended coverage of long-acting monoclonal antibody prophylaxis in infants and young children up to 19 months. On September 22, 2023, the ACIP recommended coverage of the RSV vaccine for pregnant people during 32-36 weeks of gestation. In September 2023, these recommendations were added to the CDC’s Immunization Schedules available at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/index.html
To protect populations susceptible to RSV and minimize pressures on the health care system during the 2023-24 viral respiratory season, the Division of Insurance finds, pursuant to § 24-4-103(6)(a), C.R.S., that immediate adoption of this emergency regulation is imperatively necessary to comply with state law and for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare and compliance with the requirements of § 24-4-103, C.R.S., would be contrary to the public interest. |
