Coloradans without health insurance will be able to enroll in coverage through the re-opening of enrollment through Connect for Health Colorado

Health insurance coverage in the state health exchange will begin on the first day of the month following plan selection. This special enrollment period is for people who are without health insurance and begins a week earlier than the new enrollment period through the federal exchange.

Re-opening the exchanges is an effort to address the high number of uninsured individuals and help people who have lost their employer-based health insurance because of the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

San Juan Basin Public Health’s Coverage Guide, Emma Tomlinson, will host Zoom presentations to provide information on how to sign up and discuss any recent changes to the coverage on these days:

6-7 p.m.: Feb. 16.

6-7 p.m.: March 9.

6-7 p.m.: April 6.

Dial in to any of these sessions at 1 (408) 638-0968.
