What You Need to Know about Colorado Health Insurance
Shopping for Colorado Health Insurance: Tips to Follow
A smart consumer is a protected consumer. Before signing on the dotted line, make a checklist of these items to ensure your protection:
Get Recommendations— If you have special needs or preexisting conditions, make sure you contact a doctor or support organization for health insurance recommendations.
Ask Questions—after reading through the policy, direct any and all questions to your Colorado health insurance agent. A good agent will be more than happy to make sure you understand your policy.
Know What the Policy Covers—be sure to review the "exclusions and limitations" section of your policy. Know what your policy covers will help avoid surprises during a physician or hospital visit.
Look into the Future—ask your Colorado health insurance agent how your rates will increase as you age, and how often the insurer can increase rates.
Identify Your Coverage Area—if you are looking for a managed-care plan, check the provider's directory to make sure there are suitable doctors, hospitals and other health care facilities in your area.
Put Them to the Test—call the insurer's customer service number to see how quickly you are able to get help.
Rights and Privileges of Colorado Health Insurance
As a consumer, you have certain rights pertaining to Colorado health insurance under state law. You should be aware of your rights and privileges to avoid any unpleasant surprises when you put your Colorado health insurance to work.
Regardless of the type of health insurance coverage you hold, you have a right to:
- Insurance coverage for state-mandated benefits
- Know what your health insurance plan does and does not cover
- Contact your insurer to complain or appeal any decisions with which you disagree
- Receive a standard form outlining health insurance benefits for comparison between companies and health plans
- A written explanation of why an insurance company denies your health insurance application, or excludes a health condition from insurance coverage
- Coverage of emergency room care, if you believe you are facing a life- or limb-threatening injury (even if it turns out you were not)
- Prompt payment of claims
What to Do If You Are Denied Health Insurance Coverage
If you have been denied Colorado health insurance due to preexisting medical conditions, you may qualify for the Colorado Uninsurable Health Insurance Plan (CUHIP).
CUHIP is a state-run program, offering Colorado health insurance to those previously deemed "uninsurable". However, due to the high risk levels of CUHIP patients, CUHIP subscribers pay about 30 percent more for Colorado health insurance than those insured through the normal market. It is for this reason that CUHIP should be considered as a last resort.
If you are uninsurable due to a preexisting health condition, you may contact the CUHIP administrator at 1-800-672-8477 for more information.
