| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of this regulation is to increase the number of available providers in hospitals that are experiencing clinical staffing shortages due to COVID-19 and other emergency hospitalizations and an associated decrease in intensive care unit capacity. It will increase the availability of providers for patient care by temporarily suspending utilization review requirements and streamlining the approval process for transfers and discharges from hospitals. |
| Comments |
The Division of Insurance finds, pursuant to § 24-4-103(6)(a), C.R.S., and in accordance with Executive Order D 2021 136, that immediate adoption of this regulation is imperatively necessary for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare as ensuring hospitals have adequate resources and availability to treat 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. |
