September 3rd, 2013 – In Colorado, over 14,000 people have coverage through CoverColorado.  CoverColorado is Colorado’s high risk pool that insures people with difficult to insure health conditions.  Founded in 1991, CoverColorado operates as a non-profit organization.

With ObamaCare, starting on January 1st, 2014, no one can be denied insurance because of a health condition, so there will no longer be a need for the CoverColorado program after 2013.  CoverColorado clients have until December 15th to apply for one of the new ObamaCare plans for a January 1st, 2014 effective date.

People currently insured by CoverColorado will have a wealth of choices available to them for the new year, including:

• 299 plans outside the exchange and they are all fully ObamaCare compliant.
• 150 individual plans inside the exchange.
• 92 plans for small business inside the exchange.
• National, regional and local PPO and HMO network providers.

If you are a CoverColorado member, get help from Colorado Health Insurance Brokers to shop the hundreds of plan options inside and outside the exchange.
