10-1-108(7), 10-1-109(1), 10-16-103.4, 10-16-109, and 10-16-141(1), C.R.S. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
On March 11, 2020, Governor Polis issued Executive Order D 2020 003 declaring a disaster emergency due to the presence of COVID-19 in Colorado. That Executive Order has been extended, most recently on March 16, 2021 by Executive Order D 2021 068, which is subject to further extension by Executive Order. In order to protect the general public and to direct health insurers toward a policy that advances the welfare of the public through overall efficiency, affordability, improved health care quality, and appropriate access, pursuant to § 10-1-108(7), C.R.S., the purpose of this regulation is to establish coverage and cost-sharing requirements for commercial insurance carriers related to claims arising from the testing and treatment of COVID-19 and to ensure covered persons have access to prescription drugs during the COVID-19 emergency.
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 establishing coverage and cost sharing requirements for the testing and treatment of COVID-19 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. This emergency regulation replaces Colorado Emergency Regulation 20-E-13, which became effective November 18, 2020, in its entirety. |
