Emergency Regulation Requires Coverage of COVID-19 Treatment without Cost Sharing
Effective March 23, 2021, the Division of Insurance issued Emergency Regulation 21-E-06, which requires carriers regulated by the state to provide persons covered by their healthcare policies with COVID-19 treatments and vaccinations with no cost sharing. It also requires these carriers to pay out-of-network providers that provide emergency services to the participants in their plans in accordance with Colorado law.
This emergency regulation replaces Emergency Regulation 21-E-03, which was discussed in the March 4, 2021 edition of Compliance Corner.
Employers with health plans regulated by the state should be aware of this development.
