The Colorado Division of Insurance at the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) is holding several events over the next few weeks to help consumers, both individuals and businesses, better understand their health insurance. The goal is to help educate consumers about the factors that cause premium increases, what’s happening with Federal Health Care Reform, and how they can make more informed decisions when purchasing insurance. Our new website resource will also be introduced that provides more information than ever on health insurance premium rate review, how to shop for insurance, and how the Division of Insurance can help consumers when they need information or wish to file a complaint because their carrier does not meet expectations. Any assistance you can provide in distributing information about these events to individuals and businesses is greatly appreciated. Information about the events can be found at: http://www.askdora.colorado.gov You’ll also notice new language on the Consumer Assistance Page as well as the Shopping for Insurance. ### The Division of Insurance has issued a bulletin, B-4.34, Immediate Market Reforms Involving the Federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). http://www.dora.state.co.us/insurance/regs/bulletin.htm ### Below is a link to a new bulletin that addresses marketing individual health plans to small employers that we thought you would appreciate getting. http://www.dora.state.co.us/insurance/regs/B-4.32.pdf The DOI needs your current email address as it is their goal to go paperless. In the future all communication to license holders will be by e-mailed - even renewal notices. All licensees need to make sure that SIRCON has their current email address. http://www.sircon.com/states_info/state_co.html ************************** Legislative Update Click here for the latest CSAHU Bill Dossier ************************** PAC Click here for the local political action contribution form **************************** HUPAC Click here for the HUPAC contribution form *************************** Summary of JBC Staff Briefing **************************** Federal Level State Level
